%INTEGRATE RESPONSE PERSON COMMUNAL SEEK DESIRE SEX 961012

     How  can we most helpfully respond to  circumstances,
contexts, events,  desires, visions, fantasies,  mistakes,
failures,   catastrophes,   problems and tragedies---which
threaten our personal and communal integrity?   How are we
to find the most helpful way,  path,  approach, attitudes,
assumptions, beliefs, convictions, guidance, etc?


     If we are committed to  promoting  both personal  and
communal  integrity---truly  seeking   both  personal  and
communal intensity---we  WILL always respond to challenges
to  our  integrities with as  much  personal and  communal
integrity as we can---in ways which  will augment both our
personal and communal integrity in balanced ways.  We will
NOT be driven and guided by fears.   We will NOT sacrifice
our  freedom to be true to ourselves  and  each  other  in
secure  intimate relationships known as the freedom to  be
safely  vulnerable.    We will NOT seek to be better  than
each other in exclusive ways.    We will NOT be legalistic
and     judgmental      condemners   ---    prone       to
rejection,    excommunication,    alienation,    coercion,
violence,   terrorism  and war.    We will  NOT  sacrifice
justice  and mercy for revenge,   humility for  arrogance;
or peace for exclusive self righteousness.      We WILL do
justice,   love mercy and walk  humble with each other  in
the presence of God as Her loved children.

     When  we are confronted by  circumstances,  contexts,
events,  desires, visions, fantasies,  mistakes, failures,
catastrophes,    problems  and  tragedies---we  can   most
helpfully  respond  to those challenges to our integrities
with  as  much personal and communal integrity as we  can.
If we do not do so we will most likely lose our way and so
lose our personal and communal integrity.
