[Dialogue] Secondary Ethics

[John Cock]

History now judges that Bonhoeffer was acting with integrity as he helped
plan the murder of Hitler and that Gandhi was acting with integrity when he
disobeyed colonial law in India. Both were brave, clean, and reverent --
especially reverent. But they broke "God's" law and British law. And
Gandhi's wife thought he was irresponsible re the family, and he was.
 
Secondary integrity is about discerning and doing "the will of God," and
nobody finally knows whether 'twas done or not, and in the discussion of it
colleagues divide.

Dick et al,
 
My understanding of "secondary" integrity (as opposed to the rules, regs and
legalisms that,for me, represent "primary" integrity) is that which guides
one's actions in accord with the "necessary deed" -- the freely responsible
action (cf Bonhoeffer) which I've never found is a simplistic cop out, but
rather the result of complex, prayer filled discernment.
 
I would be interested to know more about your thinking, Dick, that led you
to conclude this was our movement's most serious perversion.
 
With appreciation for the resources you bring to our "virtual" collegium
room table,
 
Marilyn

On golden pathways a google search delivered only a speech by Mathews in
Korea.  ( below )
 
good luck with that!!
 
In my words, secondary integrity means doing whatever is necessary, telling
story ( even if it is totally untrue) in order to ger 'er done.  In my
opinion, it was our movement's most serious perversion, and ultimately did
in the spirit movement as an organization.
