     To be ready to UNMASK "The Powers That Be" we need to
PLAN  non-violent  ways of doing so;  rather than  sitting
around passively until violence/war breaks upon us.       
                                                          
     Churches  can incorporate into their regular  worship
services elements of service which would powerfully UNMASK
"The   Powers  That Be"   that might lock  the  vulnerable
members  of   the church out of the church building  in  a
POWER  GRAB;    e.g.,  gathering food for poor people  who
make  use  of  a community food bank.    That  would  make
gracious  theater  outside  of a  church   building   when
televised   on  the  evening  news!  There  can  be  other
elements  which  might be  powerful  in  particular  local
situations, at particular times.                          
                                                          
     Domineering  religious  leaders focus  upon  isolated
single issues as idols worthy of ultimate concern; and are
willing  to  engage in POWER GRABS in the name of law  and
order  within religious institutions where lovers  prevail
non-violently over dominators.    Lovers need to be  ready
to  UNMASK  "The Powers That Be"  in non-violent  ways  by
preparing ahead of time to do so.                         
                                                          
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
