Verbatims are the ongoing source, inspiration and touchstone of ACT's work in all issue areas.  Verbatims are the direct voice, experiences, wants, ideas, feelings, pain and wisdom of the People.  ACT constantly seeks them out and listens carefully to them in 1-to-1 face-to-face research actions; ACT reads them just as carefully as a product of Pastor's Calls and other written research actions. 

Whenever the Leaders of ACT want to get back precisely on target or clarify what is the validity or meaning of ideas, goals, guidelines, ACT Leaders go back to the specific words of the People, the verbatims.  What follows here are just some of the verbatims that guide our work with regard to Public Education.
