Bruce Sanguin ~ "Ecology, Spirituality & The Evolution of Consciousness"Where does "spirituality" and the evolution of
consciousness fit in the ecological community? The modern and
postmodern worldviews threw the spiritual baby out with the bathwater
of premodern superstition and pathological religious fundamentalism.
This was entirely necessary, serving to liberate human consciousness
from the myopic scriptural and ecclesiastical perspectives of mythic
consciousness. However, there is an emerging, integral spirituality
that transcends, yet includes, traditional faith systems. The
reintegration of spiritual consciousness can serve the healing of our
planet. This spirituality is grounded in evolutionary science, yet
functions like ancient myth in the evocation of awe and wonder at the
sacred mystery of creation. When we tell the new story of creation as a
sacred narrative, we gain a new identity. We become centers of
conscious evolution and tap into the sustaining and creative energy of
the universe to engage in the work of repairing our planet. Rev.
Bruce Sanguin is the minister of Canadian Memorial United Church and
Center for Peace in Vancouver, B.C. He speaks and leads workshops
throughout North America on spirituality and ecology. Bruce is the
author of the best selling Darwin, Divinity, and the Dance of the
Cosmos: An Ecological Christianity. His most recent book, The Emerging
Church, looks at congregational transformation through an evolutionary
lens. www.brucesanguin.com THE GREAT TURNING
