Usually the grounds for excommunication have to do with a lack of conformity on the part of a member of the community. If a community respects any (and so many) grounds for excommunicating non-conformist members of the community, the community has no grounds upon which to ground its communal integrity. Once the logic of excommunicating members for non-conformity has permeated the dominant attitudes of a community, the seeds of the community's disintegration have been sown. The reasons for never excommunicating any one member of a community are rooted in the importance of personal and communal integrity. To attack the integrity of any member of the community, or to attack the integrating relationships between any member of the community and the rest of the community, is to attack the essence of the community; its unity, integrity, conversations, dialogue, communication channels and listening. If the reasons for never excommunicating any member of a community are not respected, the foundations of personal and communal integrity are not respected; and the community will disintegrate. It is not enough to refrain from excommunication. To be faithful to each other, members of a community need to seek to deepen the levels of listening, dialogue, conversation, integrity and unity. Integrity is never stagnant. Integrity is dynamic and constantly growing; or disintegration sets in. Life has to do with integration and making connections. Death has to do with disintegration and breaking connections. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
