God leads all who seek honesty and integrity to personal and communal integrity, not to war. God invites all who yearn for meaning and significance to meet together in the Holy Presence with the Holy Spirit as One Family which is free to be safely vulnerable in being true to self and others. In God's will there is no compulsion, condemnation or alienative judgment. Compulsion, condemnation and alienative judgments are fruits of the presumption of the knowledge of of who is evil and who is good in the absence of the Holy Presence; i.e., outside of God's Family.
