SEEKING PASSIONATE, COMPETENT EVOLUTIONARIES

TO HELP MAKE THANK GOD FOR EVOLUTION!

A REAL BREAKTHROUGH


Michael Dowd's new book
Thank God for Evolution! How the Marriage of Science and Religion will Transform Your Life and Our World will be released in October 2007. A new website has been set up for activities related to it. We expect a remendous response (see TGFE News). Within the next four months we want to be prepared.

1. To make Thank God for Evolution! a runaway best-seller and

2. To help excited readers come together

  •  to realize, deepen, and celebrate their sacred relationship with evolution and the larger family of life of which we are all part and
  •  to consciously evolve themselves, their communities, and society.

In other words, we want to reach out to people in many ways and, when someone gets turned on by this new way of looking at the world -- or has an epiphany or life changing experience -- we want to help them take action that furthers conscious evolution. Our ultimate aim is to enable society to more consciously evolve through challenges and crises, into greater vibrancy, compassion, awareness and wholeness.

The release of Thank God for Evolution! gives us an unprecedented evolutionary opportunity to make this dream real.

But who is the "we" that will do these preparations? We in the small circle of colleagues immediately around Michael and Connie do not have the skill, insight, and time to accomplish this Great Work by ourselves. So the "we" that will do this will include many of you who are reading this newsletter. You know who you are.

Here are some things you can participate in, if you feel called or excited to do so. After each one is the name of a person who will be convening an initial telephone conference call (and possibly ongoing monthly or seasonal calls) with those who have passion and are committed to working on the following areas -- including people with related gifts, skills, passions, and visions to share. If you are interested, please send an email to the person listed, with the topic area written in the subject line.


1. HELP MAKE "THANK GOD FOR EVOLUTION!" A BESTSELLER

If you feel called...

If you feel called to commit at least several hours a week to help with communications and PR strategy, publicity, community outreach, web and multimedia production, or web content, the following roles (volunteer or paid) are needed by the end of June:

  • Senior Communications and PR Strategist
  • Publicist(s)
  • Community Outreach Coordinator
  • Web and Multimedia Producer
  • Web Content Manager

IF YOU FEEL CALLED TO STEP INTO LEADERSHIP in one of these ways, please email (put "Communication Leadership Role" in the subject line). Please include the following:

A) which role you'd like to play (and how you would help TGFE! be successful)
B) what skills or experience you have
C) why you feel you would be the perfect person for that role
D) how much time per week you'd be willing and able invest in this role
E) what are your compensation needs (if any).

*** Michael will be sending a separate email regarding the above in early June. ***
