The more narrow are the grounds for excommunication, the higher is the level of integrity. The highest level of integrity is enjoyed when there is unanimous respect for the belief that ideally there should be no respected ground for excommunication. Excommunication is a disintegrative attempt to control the behavior of other persons. Excommunication undermines the grounds for integration; i.e., openness, honesty, dialogue, listening, communication. In the absence of these it is impossible to behave coherently with integrity. The logic of excommunication is confused and lacks integrity. It flies in the face of the reality of human nature and behavior. It is a logic which is not based upon honest dialogue about human experiences, feelings, thoughts, motivations, etc. It is a logic which is excommunicated from the knowledge base which it presumes to serve. It is a logic which flows from previous excommunication and feeds future excommunication; i.e., disintegration and the violence which is associated with disintegration of human communities.
