| − | Moral Re-Armament (MRA) was a religious organisation formally established in 1938, having emerged from the [[Oxford Group]] of the Rev. F.N.D. Buchman. In the late 1930s it developed the view that, although nations were re-arming for war, what the world required was moral re-armament. Global change was predicated upon individual change, and the movement sought personal change based on 'Four Absolutes': absolute honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness, absolute love. | + | '''Moral Re-Armament''' (MRA) was a religious organisation formally established in 1938, having emerged from the [[Oxford Group]] of the Rev.
