The Making Of A Lasting Moral Movement

Founded On An Eternal Morally Just Cause

A lasting moral movement must be founded on a theologically sound absolute moral truth.

Inclusive Of All Three Principal Factions Of Any Movement 

A lasting moral movement must be broad based, balanced and built from the bottom up.
 
- The Ministry - those who minister, originate, initiate, teach, preach, produce

- The Missionary - those who mission, organize, administer, manage, advocate, facilitate,
                                encourage, promote

- The Manifestry - those who manifest, orchestrate, partake, share, toil, act, do participate
                             - those who seek (God's Will), and manifest (make evident) a common coalesced spiritual will relative to a common concern

That is to say:  Manifestry - is to be defined as; Small cluster(s)/brigade(s), coalition(s) of like-minded independent individuals, who are willing, (individually and/or together), to seek and (simultaneously) manifest, (make evident/clear to the minds and senses with others), in a non-confrontational manner, their common overwhelming consensual opinion / belief / conviction / will relative to a single common concern. 

Allowed To Coalesce

Most modern movements start with the Ministry, and then the Missionary organizes and superimposes the organization's opinions/beliefs/convictions onto the Manifestry.  Which, of course, is the most efficient means/way, when we deal with; technical, organizational and/or political issues.  Over the ages many leaders have tried to apply the same approach to moral issues.

But, when we deal with morality, and/or moral issues, and the Ministry and Missionary do not first allow for the natural coalescing (growing together) of the spiritual moral will of the people of the Manifestry, lacking a broad based spiritual will, the movement either; fails, is only partially or temporarily successful and/or is short lived. 

When a moralistic movement's message;  - is founded on a theologically sound God Given Truth, - is led by the impeccable Holy Spirit Of God, - is decimated by evangelistically servant oriented encouragers/facilitators, - the spiritual moral will of the people is allowed to coalesce among the manifestants, and then organization(s) grow out of the willingness / need for further manifestation of the coalesced spiritual moral will of the people, then movements relative to moral issues have a much greater probability of succeeding, and being long lasting.  This is particularly so in a society with such a "freedomistic" mentality as that found in the United States of America today. 

We now have the opportunity; - to be the facilitators, - to be the encouragers, - to be the cause for the creation/establishment of a system that will allow for the orderly coalescence and manifestation of the spiritual moral will of the people, (derived from together seeking and sharing the Will Of The Holy Spirit Of God), relative to probably the most fundamental age old moral issue.  A system which would allow for the orderly coalescence (growing together) of an overwhelming common consensual spiritual moral will of the people relative to the Restoration, Preservation, Furtherance, Of An Attitude Of Overwhelming Love And Respect For The Sanctity Of Unique Unborn Human Life.
 

Under Impeccable Leadership

A lasting moral movement must not be under the speaker's control but under the Will of The Holy Spirit of God.

Self Perpetuating, Self Motivating, Self Sustaining

A lasting moral movement must have a perpetual summoning to a few individuals and/or small groupings of servant hearted persons, (called by The Spirit from within themselves), who will be willing to encourage, facilitate or coordinate the shared vision, without themselves being participants in the coalescence of that vision.

Incorruptible

A lasting moral movement must be spiritual in nature, and must not be dependent on the need for monetary funding for its survival.


The Making Of A Lasting

Restoration, Preservation, And Furtherance

Of An Attitude Of Overwhelming Love And Respect

For The Sanctity Of Innocent Unique Unborn Human Life

In Our Neighborhood

In Our Community, In Our Society

Movement


 Restoring A National Moral Attitude

Once in our nation there was a magnificent selfless attitude of good.  If the ship was sinking, or there was other perilous danger, the pregnant women (who carried innocent unique unborn human life), and babies were the first to be saved at all risks and sacrifice.   Now there seems to be a horrific selfish attitude of evil apathy growing in our nation that condones the legalized genocidal premeditated preferential murderous killing and destruction, (chopping up), of innocent unique unborn human life, for convenience, self preservation, and/or profit (abortion, and "harvest" of human embryonic stem cell's, fetal tissue and/or infant organs).   Our attitude of apathetic condonation of these genocidal acts are more grievous than that of the populace in Nazi Germany, in that our apathy is not the result of despair over atrocious acts of a dictatorial tyrant, but is the result of genocidal acts legalized by the collective of our electorate.  

 Vision - Premise and Objectives

- Premise
Life created in the image of God is sacred, and is worthy of being loved, respected and protected by custom and law.

- Objectives
- To restore, preserve and further an individual attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life

- To coalesce the spiritual moral will of the people relative to restoring, preserving and furthering of an attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life
- To restore, preserve and further a national attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life; in our neighborhood, in our community, in our society, one individual, one family, one group, one congregation, one organization, one firm, one neighborhood, one zip code area, one county, one state at a time

 Strategy

Restoring, preserving, and furthering,  an attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life, from the ground up; one individual, one family, one cluster, one group, one congregation, one organization, one firm, one neighborhood, one zip code area, one county, one state at a time.

 - Forging Interpersonal Relationships

The Making of A Lasting Moral Movement begins with the making of lasting, sincere, serious interpersonal relationships of trust with other individuals, one at a time.  With the making of platonically loving and respecting friendships with our neighbors.  With the making of a sound  foundation, built by laying one brick at a time from, the ground up.

FIVE ACTS  .  .  .   To Coalescing The Moral Will Of The People. 

 From the ground up;

5.  Communicating - face to face, shoulder to shoulder, one on one, or in a small cluster 
         conversations, reach an overwhelmingly consencual, (coalesced) understanding of
        The Will of The Holy Spirit Of God, through platonically intimate exchange of sincere
        and serious ideas and opinions in confidence

4.  Sharing - about mutually felt common moral spiritual needs/concerns
                  - information, knowledge and wisdom

3.  Caring - about mutually felt common moral physical needs/concerns

2.  Trusting - in God and in each other, committing to mutual friendship, trust and service

1.  Seeking - information, understanding, truth, The Will of The Holy Spirit Of God 
                   - dedicating of self to;  praying, meditating, reasoning, and manifesting 


- Creating Circular Clusters

In that the task is too great for the individual to accomplish alone the next step In The Making Of A Lasting Moral Movement is the making/creating of close (not closed) circular clusters of mutual trust, confidence and influence.

Spontaneously forming small informal moral based clusters, (within existent organizational groupings, and/or within existent geographic neighborhoods), for mutual support, for simultaneously identifying and defining common concerns, and for seeking, coalescing and manifesting the spiritual moral will of the people relative to the restoration, preservation, and furtherance of an attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life.


-  Coalescing Of The Spiritual Will Of The People

The next step in the Making Of A Lasting Moral Movement must be the creation of a situation which will permit the platonically intimate exchange of sincere and serious ideas and opinions in confidence, that spontaneously and simultaneously coalesce the spiritual moral will of the people (The Spirit gives birth to spirit.) for doing acts and deeds relative to the restoration, preservation and furtherance of an attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unborn human life, in our neighborhood, in our community, in our society.

TOGETHER GATHERING TOGETHER

AT NEIGHBORHOOD MANIFESTRY GATHERINGES

"They dedicated themselves" - Let us "Go And Do Likewise".  Let us dedicate ourselves; to resolving our moral differences, to  communicating confidently together, over a common (potluck) meal, in small neighborhood clusters, in our homes, on 5th Wednesday evenings.

- Neighborhood Cluster
Small within neighborhood group (two to seven families/households) regularly together gathering, at a Neighborhood Host's/Hostess' home, on fifth (5th) Wednesday evenings to more perfectly seek and manifest the moral Will of The Holy Spirit of God in one organizational and/or geographical grouping/neighborhood at a time.

- Neighborhood Cluster Host/Hostess
Manifestants within an organizational and/or geographical neighborthood cluster willing to invite others to thier home, for a common (potluck) meal, (Manifestry Gathering).  Usually also willing to provide beverage, everyone brings their own service, and food to share.  The Host/Hostess functions to be rotational.  

- Frequency
Gathering often enough to provide consistency but not so frequent as to become intrusive.

Within Organization - at least one fifth Wednesday simultaneous Love And Respect for Sanctity of Unique Unborn Human Life Manifestry Gathering a year of manifestants from within the same organization, in homes, by respective geographic areas

Between Organizations - at least one fifth Wednesday simultaneous Love and Respect for Sanctity of Innocent Unique Unborn Human Life Manifestry Gathering a year of manifestants from different organizations, in homes, by respective geographic areas

Within Own Neighborhood - at least one fifth Wednesdays simultaneous Love and Respect for Sanctity of Innocent Unique Unborn Human Life Manifestry Gathering a year of manifestants within geographic neighborhoods/blocks, in homes, by respective geographic areas

- In True Coalitions of Communion/Communication
Not Holy Communion.  But lower case "c" friendly communion, (communication), - independent individuals manifesting our common opinions, beliefs, and/or convictions according to the second definition of communion in the dictionary - confident/intimate communication.  Communicating in a situation permitting the platonically intimate exchange of sincere and serious ideas and opinions in confidence.

Each in turn, in an orderly manner, in pure communications (mutual exchanges/interchanges/talking about), focusing on common concerns relative to the restoration, preservation, and furtherance of an attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life, without overlooking individual needs.  (See - "In An Orderly Manner" on this web site)

- Inter-Cluster Contacting, Connecting, Communicating

 - Reconciliation 
As Neighborhood Love And Respect For The Sanctity Of Innocent Unique Unborn Human Life Manifestry Clusters come in contact with each other, they should voluntarily and spontaneously reconcile according to geographic location of residency.

 - Connector/Communicators
As the need may arise as clusters contact and connect, all connectors/communicators are to be selected by an overwhelming consensus of participating manifestants in each neighborhood cluster, or each connector/communicator council cluster.
 
 - Community/County Council Of Elders
The need may arises for the creatation of a self-motivating, self-sustaining, self-connecting, self-coalescing, from the ground up, grass roots, unofficial, advisory "For The Restoration, Preservation, And Furtherance Of An Attitude Of Overwhelming Love And Respect For The Sanctity Of Innocent Unique Unborn Human Life, In Our Neighborhood, In Our Community, In Our Society Stanislaus Manifestry System Council Of Elders".

That will encourage on a community/county wide level the restoring of the early American custom of neighborhood friendly communing/communicating.  By encouraging the members of the community, who are willing, to together regularly gather together on fifth Wednesday evenings, (in small clusters, in our homes), to eat a common (potluck) meal, to communicate confidently with each other, (in a non-confrontational manner), and to manifest (proclaim) our common opinions,  beliefs,  convictions relative to restoring an attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity of innocent unique unborn human life; in our neighborhood,  in our community, in our society.

- Including a representative from each of the following life functions category groups
Representative of all those within the respective category with a vested interest in the restoration, preservation, and furtherance of an attitude of overwhelming love and respect for the sanctity  of the innocent unique unborn human life, in our neighborhood, in our community, in our society.

- Community Connector/Communicators
To be effective each category grouping most likely will need to gather in some manner within their own category, and as the need arise, as clusters contact and connect, within categories, connectors/communicators should be selected by an overwhelming consensus of participating manifestants in each community cluster, or each connector/communicator council cluster.


 Dedication

- Talent, Time, Treasures

Dedicate ourselves to seeking and manifesting the Will of The Holy Spirit of God.
To be lasting the Manifestry of a truly moral movement needs very small dedicated commitments of talents and time by many people and/or many small groups of people, in many locations.  The Manifestry faction of a moral movement does not need, nor want, contributions of treasures, that ultimately only corrupt and derail the vision of the movement.  Contributions of treasures are need, however, by the movement's associated Ministries, and Missionaries.


 ACTION

Any and all actual acts and deeds, action beyond the coalescence of the spiritual moral will of the people (free speech) is to be done through/by the appropriate existent Ministry, and/or Missionary entity(ies).


 Other Elements

Some other elements of consideration in the Making Of A Lasting Moral Movement;

- Voluntary Facilitators

All coalitions/movements need a few individuals and/or small groups of servant hearted persons to encourage, facilitate or coordinate the shared vision or initiative(s) of the coalition/movement without themselves being participants in the coalescence of the local vision.

   - Individual Encourager
   - Family Encourager
   - Group Encourager
   - Congregation Encourager
   - Organization Encourager
   - Firm Encourager
   - Neighborhood Encourager
   - Zip Code Area Encourager
   - County Encourager

If you are moved by The Spirit to voluntarily assist this moral movement as an facilitator/encourager please see - "What You Can Do" on this web site.

- Manifestants

Individuals, who are willing, to dedicate themselves, (individually and/or together with other like-minded individuals), to seeking, manifesting, (making evident/clear to the minds and senses with others), and/or proclaiming, (in a non-confrontational manner), a common overwhelming consensual opinion, belief, conviction, will relative to a single common concern. 

- Manifestry Clusters

Small coalition of (about three to ten) individual independent manifestants (or independent households) of like-minded manifestants who are willing to together gather and individually and/or together, (solely and/or simultaneously [at the same time as other  clusters/brigades]), seeking, manifesting, (make evident/clear to the minds and senses with others), and/or proclaiming (in a non-confrontational manner), their common overwhelming consensual opinion, belief, conviction, will relative to a single common moral concern. 

- Manifestry Brigades

The Brigade Effect - a brigade (small groups/clusters of manifestants) working together independently (with a common focus, with a common will) can accomplish more than the sum total of the accomplishments of its individuals if they are working separately.  Many brigades working simultaneously in many different locations can accomplish more to change individual attitudes than the sum total of the accomplishments of all the individuals if working in one location in one large unit.
