The problem is that these movements are anthropocentric - created by humans for humans. We have to start thinking very differently about how we 'talk' to these groups, how exactly this is done. And I don't mean this in a superficial way. I have heard this call for 'building bridges', and have completely agreed, till now. I think 'building bridges' must still be done but it will need an imaginative and creative approach not the usual approach at all. I don't have any 'instant' plans or fancy ideas for the usual paths are not sufficient. New paradigms don't come easily, or sometimes in a flash. Thank you for the summary and your comments.
