The State In the Theoevolutionary Church

The community, the people, are "spiritual" in that the state and religion are reconciled in the evolution of the people to God. But the state is local, i.e., not a big Hegelian state, at the most a small ethnostate, since this is is how the material-spiritual evolves best to God, as sociobiology most recently has suggested, and as Conservatism has been saying all along. In this sense religion is involved in the state, loosely tied to the Universal Church which helps guide--- through Subsidiarity and Beyondist knowledge--- local varieties of people to evolve to Godhood.

In the Theoevolutionary Churchthe sacred and secular disconnections are this way overcome. The community makes explicit in evolution what has been implicitly understood in religion. The extremes of the Enlightenment and Pietism are also overcome. And we see here how a people's concept of God reflects its concept of the state.
