It involves not only the former need to balance carefully and intentionalize the belief, lifestyle, and ritual within the group’s own experience so that belief will not overshadow lifestyle and ritual or vice versa, but also the contemporary need to seek a carefully and intentionally balanced relationship in the intercourse of a plurality of religious groups.	cache/iaajah-2309.pdf	txt/iaajah-2309.txt
