Incarnational humanism

Incarnational humanism is a brand of humanism which affirms the value and essential goodness of human reason and culture. Developed in a Christian framework, incarnational humanism asserts a unification of the secular and the sacred with the goal of a common humanity. This unification is fully realized in the participatory nature of Christian sacraments, particularly the Eucharist. The recognition of this goal requires a necessary difference between the church and the world, where both "spheres are unified in their service of humanity."
