	A Masorti Theology IV
		The rank and file membership of the Masorti movement in Israel (and of the Conservative Movement in general the world over) is secular in its general weltanschauung, and is autonomous in its attitude to behaviour patterning in particular - even though it belongs to a religious movement.
		We have already noted that in Masorti Judaism this time-honoured tradition is not static: Masorti Judaism believes in a dynamic Torah, a Torah in which this tradition is constantly (and legitimately) being molded by the changing exigiencies of time and place.
		Masorti Judaism does not present halakhah as a compulsory system on a basis of 'all or nothing'; our Rabbis would do well to remember that secular Jews must find their way to and within Judaism at their own pace and, to a certain extent, on their own terms.
