As we affirm free-enterprise restrained by Christian ethics (which would have prevented the latest financial bubble bursting), so we also affirm upward evolution restrained by Christian ethics. Although we include Beyondist ethics in
the Theoevolutionary Church , this makes us somewhat different than Cattell's Beyondism, which has moral constraints from science but not Christian constraints.
Conservatism, the middle way between reactionary and progressive, is the social template for this position. Radical change rarely works and usually does great damage. Christian ethics allow the stable societies in which evolution can take place. But evolution needs to be added to Christian ethics. The Inward Path of Christianity requires the Outward Path of the Theoevolutionary Church

Hey, Kenneth. I'm a new Christian and have decided to blog about it. I'm looking for like-minded bloggers to share with, and your site looks really cool. I've actually never heard of evolutionary Catholicism before, but it sounds very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks. You may find our take on Christianity quite different than the others...Welcome.
ReplyDeleteI agree that most aspects of our society would benefit from true Christian influence, especially the idea that we should treat the poor and weak among us with respect. I think if the bankers were true Christians, they may have thought twice about handing out loans to poor people who had no chance of paying them back. Or, better yet, they could have worked out a fair loan that would provide relief to the poor without painting them into a financial corner.
