What is essential to personal and communal integrity?
Here "essential" is used to DESCRIBE whatever by
its absence leads to personal and communal disintegration.
"Essential" here does NOT mean "most important."
It is essential that our unification be enjoyed under
the leadership of people who are just, merciful, humble,
and effective in resolving conflicts in ways which lead to
gracious reconciliation, healing, honest-dialogue and
peace.
This IS to say that the unity we seek will preserve
creative diversity in cooperative ways and efforts within
which the creative potentials of diverse and differing
people will be fulfilled.
This IS to say that the unity we seek will
demonstrate that our differences often flow from non-
integrated complimentary affirmations, rather than from
conflicts between "good" people and "evil" people.
This IS to say that the unity which we seek will not
be enjoyed under the leadership of people who strongly
emphasize controls and conformity ---imposed upon
differing people in regards to standard: forms, formulas,
disciplines, confessional-statements, life-styles,
rituals, and/or scriptural interpretations.
This IS to say that the unity which we seek will not
be achieved through control-measures which are based upon
much authority, coercion, manipulation, and/or violence.
This IS to say that the unity which we seek will
provide sanctuary within Christian communities for God's
Children who are weak, sick, poor, fearful, alienated,
marginalized, dis-empowerd, and/or hopeless.
