Permanent and Changeable Things
It has been stated that if the Church and State are considered to be founded in sacred authority then the church and state may not be disobeyed except to obey the higher duties of divine and natural law, therefore the revitalizing of Conservatism in the Theoevolutionary Church is based in this exception of obeying higher divine laws. The laws of the Outward Path are evolutionary and the laws of the Inward Path are involutionary and the Inward Path is revitalized by the Outward Path.
The Soul-Within involves the "Changeable Things" City of Man—particularity). The Spirit-Within involves “Permanent Things" City of God—universality). The universal is synthesized in the particular through evolution. The “Principles” of Universality (Leo Strauss) are enshrined in the Spirit-Within and are realized through Tradition, History and Evolution (Russell Kirk) These need not oppose one another. What has been missing is knowledge of the activation of evolution to Godhood by the Spirit-Within in the Outward Path, previously mainly considered static spiritual definition through the Inward Path only to the Soul-Within, although blissful and enlightening.
All of life, from church, state, the arts, and business are a means to a higher end, our evolution to God.
Claes G. Ryn, one of the better conservative thinkers, considers these things in a somewhat different way in his essay from 2007 "The decline of American intellectual conservatism"
