Diaspora

At any given time, there is a dissenting body of Theists within the Ecclesiastical Orders known collectively as the Diaspora. The Diaspora is not necessarily unified, except in their opposition to the mainstream at that given time period. Members of the Diaspora are essentially protesting reformers (in their own minds, at least) who oppose some practice or theological point that is present within the Church.
While often caricatured as Liberals, members of the Diaspora run the gamut of political views and affiliations. Ultra-Conservative members of the Theists may protest the intrusion of progressive politics into their regional church, or a Liberal might be protesting some particularly stringent set of laws set upon Christians. Whatever their personal story and cause, the Diaspora Theists are often the agents of change for the Tribe.
After all, today's Liberal is often tomorrow's Conservative.
