The Sacred Conjunction

Traditionalists denounce “evolutionism,” it seems to me, because it talks in terms of “progress” in evolution: the origin of the thing is less important than the form the thing eventually attains. That is, they say God is greater than any evolving thing could be, so how could there be “progress?”

The Evolutionary Christian Church affirms the conjunction of two worldviews: we acknowledge the sovereignty of God yet we affirm cosmic evolution as the way to arrive at progressively higher states, and life forms, until the highest Godhood is attained.

We join with the Traditionalists in their ancient involutionary way to see and contact the God within. Many of us may resemble our earthly father, but more importantly, we contain the image within of our heavenly Father, at the zenith of evolution, which is not merely an image.
