–Integrity is moral wholeness—living consistently in moral wholeness. Its opposite is corruption: the distortion, perversion, and deterioration of moral goodness, resulting in the exploitation of people.
–Global integrity is moral wholeness at all levels in our world—from the individual to the institutional to the international. Global integrity is requisite for “building the future we want—being the people we need.” It is not easy, it is not always black and white, and it can be risky.

Notes:
1. We (Kelly and Michele) are part of thee integrity/anti-corruption networks:
a. Faith and Public Integrity Network (FPIN, 2019)
We do resource contributions/blog posts.
b. Lausanne-WEA Global Integrity Network (GIN, 2019, Executive Team)
We do resource contributions/blog posts.
c. PETRA People Network. This Network was set up in 2010 and is committed to promoting peace, transparency, and accountability in all sectors of society and especially in the international Church-Mission Community (CMC). The general focus is on encouraging/developing personal and organizational integrity and on preventing/confronting corruption. The specific focus is on the Nordic Capital Investments KB fraud (NCI) and requesting people, including specific CMC leaders and organizations, to help by verifiably disclosing how they have been affected by NCI. We are part of PETRA People as individuals and not on behalf of an organization. For more information:
–weblog (60+entries: http://petranetwork.blogspot.fr/)

–Shine the Light-Together petition (https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/shine-the-light-together)
–Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PETRAPeopleNetwork/)
2. We also moderate the Loving Truth and Peace weblog which was started in August 2018. The weblog features the Professional Review done by Rand Guebert on the Nordic Capital Investments KB fraud, dismissals, and related events affecting many people and organizations especially in the international Church-Mission Community.
3. See also the Into Integrity website, tracking with Kelly’s 40 day food fast–hunger strike and Michele and Kelly’s 14 podcasts and various blogposts (first 20 day phase 6-26 June 2019 and second 20 day phase 6-26 December 2019). The purpose of the Into Integrity FAST is to call attention to–and confront–the lack of disclosures by specific organizations/leaders/people affected by the international Nordic Capital Investment KB fraud (NCI) as well as the related dismissals that Michele and Kelly experienced. This was a time of FAsting for genuine contrition and STriking for resolute action within the Church Mission Community (CMC). it was done in the spirit of the solemn, national fast called publicly by the prophet JoeI, for repentance and healing.
