In the Involutionary Inward Path contacting the Soul and Spirit Within can bring a more personal, less abstract relationship with God. The Evolutionary Christian Church emphasizes the communal nature of faith since no one evolves by themselves, even as we acknowledge a personal connection with the Spirit. Our ecumenism is based on the awareness that the Spirit exists in all people, all races, each seeking to evolve to Godhood. Here the theological virtues of faith, hope and love help, along with applying the Evolutionary Outward Path.
At this time evolution is a progression without exact maps, which is why faith can help, however, a closer and deeper study of nature and human nature grounds our faith in science and reason. We do need “faith” in the assurance that we are evolving to Godhood, and the conviction of Godhood not yet seen, but this conviction is enhanced by scientifically examining the patterns of evolution, for example, evolution has moved from the simple to the complex and toward higher and higher consciousness.
