On Frank and Open Consultation at the Reflection Meeting: It's so much better when everyone is in

Feeling left out is distressing. The assembled Baha'is at the Cluster Reflection Meeting were grateful for the friend who voiced feeling cut off from communications about the Intensive Programs of Growth in the cluster. By having the courage to share what has been her experience, the entire group was able to address the issue of communication and inclusion, and discuss what changes are necessary for more people to feel a part of what is happening in our Custer. Every willing soul has a place in the Institute Process.
The subject of inclusion always brings up for me a song by Incubus called "Are You In?" which I've posted about before on Baha'i Views. Here are the lyrics again.
It's so much better
When everyone is in are you in
It's so much better
When everyone is in are you in
Ooooh..............Are you in?
It's so much better
When everyone is in are you in
It's so much easier
When seafoam green is in fashion
Ooooh..............Are you in?
Are you...are you...........
Everybody in...........
