A) Introduction
This Ebook contains six articles that discuss the creation of an Evangelical Statement on Evolution (ESE). Thesearticles were published as a series between June 15 and September 7, 2009 on the weblogAn Evangelical Dialogueon Evolution. The series was motivated bya post by Francis Collins on “Science and Sacred”where he asked for ideas on building “
a new and vibrant community dedicated to finding the truth in both science and faith”.
I believethe ESE could be a catalyst for just such a community.The first post in the series, entitled “Building a Community of Evolutionary Creationists”, introduces the concept of the ESE and outlines why I think it would be helpful. Posts two to four in the series outline my view of objectivesfor the ESE, the approach we should take, and a framework for the contents of the ESE. Throughout the series Ireceived excellent and thoughtful feedback from other Evolutionary Creationists (ECs). Some of this feedback prompted me to augment my ideas with a “Contents addendum” article – this was post#5. The sixth post providesan overview of the process I believe should be followed to ensure the success of the project.Once again I would like to thank all those who provided their thoughts, ideas, and reactions to the series within thecomments sections of the individual blog posts as well as to those who contacted me via email to provide theirprivate comments, criticisms, and encouragement. It was greatly appreciated.3
