    In the Tragic-Absence  of any  Current-Well-Integrated
Conceptual-Framework  for   Clarifying-Integrative-Values-
and-Ideals ---  it  is  difficult to reliably judge who is
fulfilling  any  such  a  set  of  Integrative-Values-and-
Ideals.

    We need to beware of falling into the trap of honoring
and  trusting  only  those kinds of people who  have  been
Traditionally-Honored-and-Trusted ---  in the  absence  of
any   Current-Well-Integrated   Conceptual-Framework   for
Clarifying-Integrative-Values-and-Ideals.     The   latter
framework might  shine a surprisingly revealing light upon
many of the Traditionally-Honored-and-Trusted-Leaders!

    Each-Community  needs to regularly review the adequacy
of its Current-Conceptual-Framework for Clarifying Its-Own
Integrative-Values-and-Ideals   ---   responding  to   the
following and other related questions:

    1.  WHAT are The-Community's OWN Essential-Foundations
for Maintaining-Facilitating-and-Augmenting  ALL Personal-
and-Communal Integrations-and-Integrities?

    2.  HOW  are  the Communal-Foundations  Augmented-and-
Built-Upon within the lives of the community's:  New-Born-
Babies, Infants, School-Children,  Adolescents,  Graduate-
Schools,   Newly-Married,   Families,  Middle-Aged-People,
Retired-People and People-in-Hospice-Care?

    3.  HOW  are the  Communal-Foundations  Augmented-and-
Built-Upon  in the lives  of the  City-Councils,   County-
Boards-of-Supervisors,    State-Legislatures,    National-
Congresses,  Presidents,   CEOs,   Boards-of-Directors-of-
Corporations, etc?

    4.  HOW  are  the Communal-Foundations  Augmented-and-
Built-Upon in the lives of the Communal-Leaders within the
national:    entertainment, news,  exploratory,  cultural,
educational,  scientific,   advertising;   print,   radio,
television, satellite, cable, and other Communication-and-
Scholarship-Media?

    5.  HOW-WELL  is  the  community  As-A-Whole balancing
considerations of It's-Current-Existential:  Explorations-
Experimentations-and-Experiences   with  Reports-from-the-
Recent-and-Historic-Past   through   Texts-and-Traditions?

    6.  HOW-OFTEN     have     Exclusivity-and-Provincial-
Perspectives been truly: wise, prudent, robust or enduring
--- for pilgrims  seeking  to  be  Graciously-Together  in
Shalom's-Ways of  Personal-and-Communal  Integrations-and-
Integrities!

    6.  HOW-MUCH-EVIDENCE IS THERE ---  that most Current-
and/or-Past   Thinking-and/or-Behaviors  ---   have   been
Strongly-Influenced by Pervasive-Patterns of:  Addictions,
Codependence, Greed,  Concentrations-of-Wealth-and-Powers,
Military-Industrial-Complexes,  and their Collusive-Games-
of-Mutual-Self-Deception; Usually-Mixed-With:  Dishonesty,
Pretense, Arrogance,  Self-Righteousness,  and Blaspheming
Holy-Spirit's Gracious-Ways-of-Shalom?

    See  the proceeding essays for more suggestions  about
what might be included in  a helpful  Conceptual-Framework
for Clarifying-Integrative-Values-and-Ideals.

     Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom.
