 %ENJOY PERSONAL COMMUNAL INTEGRITY MEDITATE PRAYER 960525

     To  enjoy personal and communal integrity we need  to
seek to make congruent the many aspects of our lives:

     1.  Our own personal ideals and values.
     2.  The ideals and values of our family & community.
     3.  Our own assumptions, attitudes and behaviors.
     4.  Communal assumptions, attitudes & behaviors.
     5.  Our descriptions of ideals, values, behaviors.
     6.  Our explanations of discrepancies.
     7.  Communal explanations of discrepancies.

     Pretense, dishonesty and secrecy in  any of the above
aspects  of our lives undermine both personal and communal
integrity.     Rationalizations   and    collusions    are
dysfunctional;  no matter how many respected and  powerful
people are supportive of them.

     People  and  communities  cannot enjoy  personal  and
communal  integrity  in the absence of frequent  and  non-
coercive meditation,    reflection  and  prayer  called by
whatever name(s) they may be called.
