a. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority - A loving God as he may express himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants - they do not govern.
Where does AA get it's direction? Sole authority in AA is loving God as he may express himself in the group conscience. Formation of a group. Growing Pains.
