Evolution is an addition to, not a deletion of Church Tradition, and it does not affect the validity of the church, in my opinion.
I affirm the traditional conservative principle that new additions must be channeled into tradition and custom, and must not destroy tradition and custom.
The symbol of the Theoevolutionary Church suggests, among other things, the synthesis of evolution and tradition.
The common people, the laity, never desire change, they prefer stability in religious concerns, but this is not why one holds to tradition. The traditional church reveals much of the nature of the God we hope to evolve to. These revelations are almost as important as evolving to God. The traditional church also presents the virtues and morals that make living and evolving possible in this world and the next.
