Ideally, perhaps, there would be one doctrine of “One Sword” including both faith and justice, not the traditional “Two Swords.” But divisions of duties naturally evolve and historically, at least in Indo-European history and prehistory, three classes usually developed, e.g. priests, warriors, and providers under the leadership of either priests or warriors.
Traditionally in the West the Church is concerned with inner order and the state with outer order. In the Theoevolutionary Church (TC) these positions define the Involutionary Inward Path and Evolutionary Outward Path. But does this necessitate no separation between church and state? In TC it may or may not indicate separation.
TC can work with virtually any state system. For example, in the U.S., the Constitution, understood Traditionally, sets up a very workable system which can harmonize well with evolutionary development. States can become virtual ethnostates with great independence and variety within a light Federal system. But TC can work with monarchies, theocracies and so on. We follow the laws of the land.
