     Often  Christian  religious leaders have been  silent
about  how to recognize,  name and describe the difference
between perverse and healthy:                             
                                                          
     1.  Friendships,  openness,  honesty,  intimacies and
pleasures.                                                
                                                          
     2.  Rules, regulations, prescriptions, proscriptions,
commandments disciplines.                                 
                                                          
     3.  Affirmations, denials, professions,  confessions,
beliefs, doubts, assertions, demands, and dominations.    
                                                          
     Often such silence has been associated with behaviors
on  the  part  of Christian religious  leaders  which  can
reasonably  be  regarded  as  being  supportive  of   "The
Domination System" of their times and communal contexts.  
                                                          
     We will do well and be well when we can openly  name,
describe  and  talk about such occasions  of  silence  and
domination.

     2.  Dedication to properly maintaining law and order.
                                                          
     3.  Dedication to principles of ethics and morality.
