It is a matter of judgement about whether such phrases are used and whether in the end they become divisive, counter-productive and generate a reciprocal anger which makes the last statement worse than the first. I mean those, I just use this as an example of something where, I think we've got to take great care over the use of language. That the use of language has to unite and bind, not to divide and separate. I make no judgement about the decision of the commission in the work that they did, I am just using that as an illustration. I think that the document, above all has to promote the idea of social transformation.
Transformation is the idea of healing and forming over past divisions.
Of creating the circumstances of something new. Of forming over the past, building upon it, and making a new start. I really do believe we must take very seriously 2001, there is a tremendous opportunity for us to do that. I truly hope that document, or documents will be part of that, but simply to say don't neglect the critical processes which have to go before the formulation of the document. Maybe as a bit of a throw away line it might be time to draw upon the ethicists, the philosophers and the theologians for the helping of drafting it.
