But another question is: are followers allowed to reinterpret a message in light of their own vested interests. How far does this freedom go? Can someone be expelled from the tribe for being a heretic? Then this heretic would supposedly form a new tribe. Do tribes always metastasize?Wesley Menkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182383573261994011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084126484920391487.post-86462588053278005722010-05-04T12:37:21.030-07:002010-05-04T12:37:21.030-07:00Hey Wes,

I think another aspect of tribes that Godin didn't take into account was how what the leader says is translated among tribe members. In a Christian sense G-d says "this" to leader and leader says "this" to tribe as leader understands it. Tribe member says "thas" to other tribe member. <br /><br />I think that really complicates things.Angelina Duellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448423704397023372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084126484920391487.post-22489465958851259752010-05-04T11:24:49.229-07:002010-05-04T11:24:49.229-07:00Great question Bob.

I think that at times it may be centrist, at others it may lean one way or the other as one's conscience is bound. If we are interested in a "Big Tent" christianity, then I would hesitate on being overly partisan. But that's just my leadership style.Wesley Menkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182383573261994011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084126484920391487.post-36378044876440640892010-05-04T00:26:32.659-07:002010-05-04T00:26:32.659-07:00Wes, nice post.

Should persons of faith take positions? Won't that exclude others?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
