Relationship and purpose are expressed in as wide a variety of ways as the diversity of the people (the elements) that make up the system. In the same way that love in one family may be expressed in big hugs and in another through home-cooked meals, in one church mission may be expressed in door-to-door evangelism and in another through starting a tutoring program. In other words, in the same way that each person is different with a unique DNA, each congregation has its own organizational DNA that affects its relationships and purpose.
