An interesting read:
"The actual size of Gülen’s millions of followers and sympathizers is not exactly known. But it is agreed that it is the largest civil movement in the country, an “apolitical
communitarian movement”
"Educational institutions can foster
sustainable development by bridging international values with local values and cultures; by capacity-building, preparing professionals to
foster a sustainable future and by creating public spaces through civil society associations"
"Yet, it must also be noted that the Movement emphasizes the vitality of
voluntary communitarianism and its discourse and praxis discourage atomistic individualism."
