Combined With
TWELVE CONCEPTS for WORLD SERVICE
by Bill W.
Two titles in a single booklet. The A.A. Service Manual opens with history of A.A. services, then explains the General Service Conference structure and its year-round importance. Chapters cover the roles of GSRs, DCMs, delegates, directors and trustees, as well as what happens at GSO and Grapevine. The Twelve Concepts for World Service, written by A.A. co-founder Bill W., are an interpretation of A.A.’s world service structure as it emerged through A.A.’s early history and experience.
General Service Conference-approved.
12 CONCEPTS for WORLD SERVICE
As adopted by the 12th Annual General Service Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous on April 26, 1962.
A “short form” of the Concepts was approved by the 1971 General Service Conference, and in 1974 it was approved for inclusion in The A.A. Service Manual. It now appears in the Bylaws of the General Service Board, printed in the manual, and also precedes the introduction to the Twelve Concepts.
