The extent to which we enjoy personal and communal
integrity is related closely to what we fear, and what
we "love"; how we love, and how we use "fear"; what we
regard as evil, and what we regard as sacred; what we
regard as sin, and what we regard as worthy of respect
and support.
The extent to which we enjoy personal and communal
integrity is related closely to whether we:
1. See evil as pertaining to relationships which are
lacking in love, openness, dialogue, listening, acceptance
and tolerance --- or as pertaining to non-conformity,
imperfections, impurities, and disobedience.
2. Regard alienation as a tool to be used in
promoting conformity, perfection, purification and
obedience --- or as a call for the works of Love in
reconciliation, healing, transformation, and peace-making.
3. See evil people as those who need to be reformed
through coercive actions --- or as people who are both
victims of and perpetuators of alienative relationships.
4. Regard God as similar to an all powerful addict
in search of faithful codependent servants --- or as the
supreme Lover who is in search of gracious ways to
reconcile alienated children that are engaged in
alienative and disintegrative relationships.
5. Regard our difficulties in life as due to
improper, inadequate, or weak techniques and technologies;
or as due to lacks in the ways in which we relate to each
other in our relationships of alienation, distrust,
suspicion, and manipulations.
