Balance
The majority does not always make things right, but it does make things so. So what? At least so that the minority has to come along.
It is good for a new majority when it seems more like an old minority and maybe can sigh a less anxious sigh. But then there’s the new minority which is the old majority to contend with, and to help remind us that the majority even the new one does not always make things right, just so.
The gospel is a case in point. It was not at first decided by a majority vote, is not now, and probably will not be next week. It is a radical Christ Movement that is altogether disturbing and noticeable either when practiced or ignored, minority or no. But it has all the possibility of being a leaven in whatever lump it ends up in, maybe even something creative. For one thing, majority or minority, it has an owners manual that when practiced and properly maintained can keep itself and others between the curbs.
