They come into the Movement because they would like to be a part of a system which is already working.

They access the venues and channels which the Movement makes available to express opinions and convince people and come to a majority decision. Perspectives which are not in accord with the general principles of the collective action of the Movement may be aired but cannot be imposed on the majority. So newcomers to networks often orient themselves towards new goals of transformation.

Unless participants acknowledge and disseminate the worldview of the Gülen Movement, and contribute in some way to the services, they will find it difficult to be recognized as taking part in the Gülen Movement.

Integrating with a service-network or institution, however, does not require them to forsake other social networks to which they belong, but they can utilize them to circulate the new messages and meanings that they learn.
