In 1978 Fr Kofler joined the staff of the Missionary Institute London as a lecturer. In 1980 he was elected president and continued to lecture and counsel till July 1985. He also gave lectures for London University Extra Mural Department. 

Fr. Len saw the need to train leaders for the Church and founded the Institute of St. Anselm which began in September1985 with the first Diploma programme.

It takes time to unlearn destructive attitudes that we have learned over time, sometimes unthinkingly, and acquire new habits.Imagine what your life would be like if you took ten minutes a day to read this book and apply the contents to yourself? This is not a book to read through and return to the shelf: this book is a life companion to bring out the best that is in you. Keep it beside you, allow yourself to be challenged by it, take your time pondering its wisdom, and it will help you to change your life for the better.
