    \n
  1. de-stabilize:<\/strong> There is at work a destabilization of the powers, sometimes the very powers religion enthrones and endorses.<\/li>\n
  2. de-nationalize:<\/strong> Blessing is not focused upon one nation, nor does it come from one nation.<\/li>\n
  3. de-centralize:<\/strong> All attempts to keep the true religion centralized are challenged, overthrown and dispersed.<\/li>\n
  4. de-culturize:<\/strong> The Holy resists getting comfortable within any one culture because being entrenched in one dominant culture goes against the very core of the truth.<\/li>\n
  5. de-colonize:<\/strong> The mission is not to dominate and absorb the other, but to acknowledge, bless and inform the truth the other already possesses.<\/li>\n
  6. de-religiousize:<\/strong> The arrogant assumptions of religion and its religious are exposed and emptied.<\/li>\n
  7. de-textualize:<\/strong> Possessors of the text and its interpreters are constantly critiqued as narrow and fatally legalistic, for there is life outside the text.<\/li>\n
  8. de-intellectualize:<\/strong> Although right thinking is necessary, in the end It\u2019s not what you know but how you live that counts.<\/li>\n
  9. de-theologize:<\/strong> We are constantly being pulled down out of our theological ivory towers to put into practice that which we believe.<\/li>\n
  10. de-spiritualize:<\/strong> Love overthrows fantasy, for the idea of The All in All demands that we see all things as reconciled, one and therefore working together for good.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
