The Development of a Community

As I reflect I'm finding an Orthodox Islamic community represents an excellent specimen for a case study for understanding the development of a group. Essentially, so much depends on the interaction of its inhabitants. We, humanity, were made diffferent for us all to make a contribution for the betterment. W.E.B. Dubois remarked about interracial cooperation referring to everyone contributing equally. What would happen if that elite part was to get up and leave? What would happen if the hegemonic group was to take its resources and leave those remaining to fend for themselves? This dynamic must remain an awareness in the forefront of the vocation.
