They resist many suggestions that they should consider the evidence to the contrary which is all around them; i.e., that there are more essential keys than those few which they have been willing to consider; e.g. the following kinds of keys should be considered, among others. 1. Careful/gracious consideration of each other's unique personal: desires, dispositions, fears, hopes, aspirations, etc. 2. Attention to the essential foundations of both personal and communal integrities and integration. 3. Much attention upon the importance of: civility, cooperation, gentleness, balance, patience, mutuality, tolerance, etc. 4. The building up of, and the regular maintenance of, communal sanctuaries --- within which all people can know security in being safely vulnerable; and within which they can truly feel free to be safely vulnerable --- while being true to themselves and each other person who is "different" --- within intimate relationships which are truly balanced and mutual; rather than unbalanced and focused upon issues of control, power and dominance. Too often religious leaders' preoccupations with issues of control, power and dominance --- lead them to compromise due consideration of complementary issues, concerns and desires for: integrity, integration, civility, cooperation, gentleness, balance, patience, mutuality, tolerance, sanctuaries, intimacy, and sexual pleasures. As a result religious leaders often become embroiled in: cases of sexual abuse, dysfunctional abuse of power, and conflict over right: beliefs, rituals, and patterns of conformity.
