SCHELLING, F.W.J.

Schelling: nature is unconscious spirit on its way to consciousness; art is the highest synthesis. CoCA's Cathedral (§3.2.4) is a Schellingian organism — institution as evolving body, growing into self-awareness through the labor of meeting, archiving, liturgy. The Church does not have a plan. The Church has a metabolism. The annual report is the autopsy of the previous year's organism.
