Synopsis

SEARCHING TO MAKE PEACE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL BELIEFS, TODAY'S SCIENCE, AND THE BOURGEONING PLANETARY CRISIS? Carol Kilby knows this search intimately. Wakened by the planetary crisis, a minister loses her faith in the church's relevance. Opening a woodland retreat centre, hosting a wide array of spiritual and scientific teachers and experiences, she discovers a new sacred story and experiences an invigorating evolution of consciousness. The book's first section, Out of the Pulpit and Into the Woods, tells a story of the Evolutionaries she hosts and the Evolutionary wisdom for living in this planetary shift that she gathers. But there's a surprising twist when she's invited to step back into the church, an invitation she sees like a bathing suit two sizes too small. In the second section, Out of the Woods and Back IN the Church, the author steps into a declining, rural congregation of sophisticated elders. They're willing to read the old stories with evolutionary eyes. They're open to the possibility that the environmental crisis is driving the evolution of humans, religion, and God. Together, they discover the Christian and Evolutionary stories are made stronger when they dance together, and together, they can make the Earth-family more resilient. In the third section, On the Fringe are “rituals, practices, and holidays that can be used in, out, and on the fringe of the church by those hungering for a worldview that inspires us to compassionate action in crazy and confusing times," writes Michael Down, author of Thank God for Evolution. Matthew Fox writes of Evolutionary Dancer, “I celebrate this book. It makes a genuine contribution for the march from stale religion to lively spirituality.” Jan Phillips, author of No Ordinary Time writes, "The book's filled to the brim with insight and wisdom for a troubled time.”
