Reflections on the Millennium

By Alonzo L. McDonald
(1999)

As we enter the third millennium, responsible leaders at all levels of society will do well to take stock of where we have been and where we are now.

We need to consider the many factors that will influence where we are going as an increasingly global society. This Reading departs from our regular pattern of selections from classic texts to assist in that process. Adapted from a speech by Senior Fellow and founding Chairman of The Trinity Forum Alonzo L. McDonald, the reading is informed by insights drawn from his long and distinguished international career in business, government, and academia.

In his Reflections on the Millennium, Mr. McDonald primarily considers the business, economic, and political dimensions of life that we face as we begin a new millennium. He finishes by addressing the spiritual concerns that underlie these factors and raises some hard questions about the roles and responsibilities of leaders in a changing world.
