	Christian Community	Global Solidarity
	LED by the SPIRIT	DRIVEN by organizational OUTCOMES

Basis	Bible	Sociology
Goal	Fellowship and unity in Christ	Universal brotherhood, social solidarity
Motivation	Please God	Please man, earn honor & success

Process	Faith in God Obedience to truth Emphasize particulars Mutual encouragement	Open-minded & empathetic group dialogue Respect all opinions, tolerate pluralism Ban particulars, emphasize universals Don't offend with absolute facts or truth
Emphasis	Particulars	Universals
Collective Conscience	God's moral guidelines	Pragmatic social guidelines
Ethics	Same as above	Redistribution of resources, global communitarian welfare system, saving the earth, collectivization

Boundaries	God's law	Government legal system
Result	God is glorified, members are edified.	Bonding, dialectic “learning,” new beliefs & values, group conformity, new vision of the social "unity" of all. Hostility toward "divisive" people who cling to old absolutes and refuse to adapt and change.
Shows others:	God's truth & agapeo love	Unconditional tolerance and "respect" for all positions, empathy, compassion, togetherness, and the power of the process. [see note]
Ultimate goal	Eternity with God	Achieving the vision of global community.
