The authors in this article retrospectively analyze the community change process undertaken by an American Nurses Association appointed Steering Committee mandated to revise the 2001 Code of Ethics for nursing. The authors identify the community change phases as the following: organizing for diversity of thinking; scanning the horizon of ethical thought; developing unifying discourse; creating new languaging; anticipating an emerging future; and, bearing witness to community innovation. The humanbecoming community change processes are used to expand understanding of these phases of change.
