Their reality and significance are the creations of their community; their community is the creation of the symbols: each creates the other and is given meaning by the other. Communities and communal symbols are born, evolve and die. Those who do not participate in the process can not know the process with full understanding. The processes are not fully known to non-participants, and can not be judged without bias by non-participants. The non- participants are biased, through ignorance. It is important to assess the birth, evolution and death of communal symbols and their meanings with integrity; else we may give birth to and promote the evolution of disintegrative symbols, inhibit the creation and evolution of integrative symbols, and so foster the disintegration of our communities and what meanings they offer to us. The power and significance of a community flows from the integrity of its communal symbols and the coherent way in which they lead the community to allocate its scarce resources to meet individual and corporate needs. Communal symbols point to and often stand for communal realities: ideals, values, goals, dreams, fears, guilts, alienations, rejections, etc. The integrity and power of the community is intimately related to the integrity and power of its set of communal symbols, and how they are used, growing, decaying or stagnating.
