Communion of saints (ICA)

This is the knowledge that all the people of the Way of the past, present and future are about the same task in history that one is about one's self, when a person suddenly realizes that he is not alone in his work, but surrounded by a host of colleagues. It is like St. Paul writing of his concern and responsibility for all the churches, past, present and future.

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of acting out one's engagement (the life of obedience) the fourth formal aspect is embodying service to people's spirit life. At the fourth phenomenological level, this occurs when one lives on behalf of the evolution of human consciousness.
