What is the authority for the policies of The Theology Company?

[page 149]

The Theology Company is a startup in the religion industry. Many people are familiar with the traditional method of delivering religion: one has a body of professionals who make their living by providing religion to a community. Community support of the religious professionals may be in cash or kind or both, depending on local custom. It has become traditional over the millennia for the religious function to absorb en percent, or a tithe, of the community cashflow [flow of value] In many cases only a fraction of this is consumed by the clerics.

glossary:

cleric = interface with god
religion = ?
community = shared protocol

A religion maintains an interface with god: a religion defines an interface with god.

Teilhard de Chardin, Pierre, The Future of Man (translated by Norman Denny) , Borgo Pr ess 1994 Amazon product description: 'Pierre Teilhard De Chardin was one of the most distinguished thinkers and scientists of our time. He fits into no familiar category for he was at once a biologist and a paleontologist of world renown, and also a Jesuit priest. He applied his whole life, his tremendous intellect and his great spiritual faith to building a philosophy that would reconcile Christian theology with the scientific theory of evolution, to relate the facts of religious experience to those of natural science. The Phenomenon of Man, the first of his writings to appear in America, Pierre Teilhard's most important book and contains the quintessence of his thought. When published in France it was the best-selling nonfiction book of the year.'  Amazon   back

Teilhard de Chardin, Pierre, The Phenomenon of Man, Collins 1965 Sir Julian Huxley, Introduction: 'We, mankind, contain the possibilities of the earth's immense future, and can realise more and more of them on condition that we increase our knowledge and our love. That, it seems to me, is the distillation of the Phenomenon of Man.'   Amazon   back

Teilhard de Chardin, Pierre, The Divine Milieu, Harper Collins 1989 Jacket: 'Not a single thought in these pages is the result of computation; everything that is expressed is the fruit of the writer's inner life. In fact this extraordinary book can be read on different levels. There is here, as in all the writings of Father Teillhard, the expression of a scientist who takes delight in the descriptive method and the ultimate meaning of all physical exploration.'
