"We [those who don't share Doug's worldview] have many standards,
many theologies, many philosophies. It's not a simple binary at all, but

Doug, but it is an answer. 

Allow me to point out it is not an answer to the second half of

core values? How do you get from "many standards" to one
community? Where is the arche?
