Religion and Tradition have been increasingly decaying, and science has not filled the great gap. People feel that a time of big change is approaching. Even the bread and circuses of the consumer world have not filled the gap. People are anxious and worried about the future, how will the future go?
Two responses to times of great change and trouble were suggested by Arnold Toynbee (EnlightenNext June/Aug 2009): we become either “archaists” or “futurists.” Today I would point to Evolian Traditionalists on the archaist side, and people like Ray Kurzweil on the futurist “Singularity” side, as examples of one-sided responses to great change, with both virtually rejecting the other side.
The Evolutionary Christian Church (ECC) applies both sides, with the return to Traditions of the Involutionary Inward Path, and the Beyondism of the Evolutionary Outward Path. ECC affirms Revitalized Conservatism and Ordered Evolution, which balances the past and future in a masterplan of evolution and tradition. The future need not be feared if we can balance the past and future this way.
