Love is what heals, and their mission is an attempt to achieve the kind of love
that heals and redeems. The charismatic prophet inspires much loving of a kind
that, although naively idealistic, could with time and work become genuine
love, that is of a kind that ultimately places the other's welfare before one's
own—as when some people marry young and for a number of years seem quite
out of their depths but then somehow make the transition from immature, romantic,
illusory love to the sort that is realistic, responsible, and mature.
