Former and current leaders were interviewed. Most of the influences identified can be broadly categorised as 1) issues of primary focus, 2) the U of N not understood and not seen as a realistic future option, 3) ‘recordkeeping’ seen as a necessary burden, and 4) issues of isolation, language, nationalism and ‘church-views.’ Recommendations follow.</span></p>}, number={1}, journal={Glocal Conversations}, author={Mraz, John}, year={2018}, month={Dec.} }
