SUMMARY:Rethinking Religion in an Age of Science
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Christogenesis will hold its annual conference virtually starting Friday\, May 2\, 2025\, and continuing through the weekend. \nRethinking Religion in an Age of Science: From Institution to Evolution\nAccording to recent Pew Studies\, religion is waning as spiritual secularism is rising. While the data has sounded alarm bells\, there may be good reason why religion has become irrelevant while spirituality has become a cultural icon. This conference aims to suture the relationship between religion and spirituality by relocating religion at the heart of cosmic life. Religion has not gone away but it is advancing in new ways. Formal or institutional religion has sidetracked the modern person by placing constraints around religion and segregating its core energies in creeds and doctrines. Teilhard de Chardin realized that religion is essential to the direction of evolution. We will explore how a renewed sense of religion in evolution can reinvigorate planetary life\, especially in an age of technology. \nLearn more about our speakers on our conference page. Detailed session schedule\, talk titles and abstracts to come soon. \nStudent pricing and limited scholarships are available for this conference. Please apply here and we will email with registration instructions.

SUMMARY:God 2.0: Pantheism and Quantum Reality
DESCRIPTION:This event is past. Click here to purchase recordings of this series. \nCan God be updated? Classic theism would say\, absolutely not! But God is an incomprehensible mystery and our approach to the mystery is shaped by ways of knowing the real\, a type of knowledge that cannot be fixed or located in any one age. We will explore how science\, culture and scripture can help us appreciate a wider\, more expansive understanding of God in ways that empowers us to creatively contribute to the wholeness we seek.

SUMMARY:Whitehead & Teilhard: Convergence\, Divergences\, Integrations
DESCRIPTION:The respective work of Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) and Pierre Teilhard De Chardin (1881-1955) continue to inspire distinctive trajectories in modern process philosophy and theology. Although contemporaries for a time\, both men were unable to benefit from each other’s vast visions of reality. Yet a shared indebtedness to Bergson’s temporal metaphysics and a commitment to incorporate new advances of the sciences—evolutionary biology and quantum and relativity theory in particular—would stimulate deeply resonant vectors in their thought. Nevertheless\, Whitehead and Teilhard continue to be studied largely independent of each other’s contributions. The time has come to fill this scholarly lacuna with deliberate efforts aimed at creative mutual transformation. What results when Whitehead and Teilhard meet? What do they each offer the other such that a mutual deepening might take place? This conference draws together Whitehead and Teilhard scholars to advance the possibilities and relevance of process philosophy and theology through an integrative encounter between these two foundational figures.

SUMMARY:Healing God\, Healing Self\, Healing Earth
DESCRIPTION:We are a global people on a planet in crisis. \nExtreme weather\, shortages of water and food\, and a swiftly mutating pandemic reveal a climate emergency that is speeding up rather than slowing down. We find ourselves in a wounded world\, desperate for healing. \nThese deep wounds begin with ourselves. Healing the Earth requires that we remedy our dangerous misconceptions: otherworldly spirituality\, human superiority\, and rampant individuality. Only the insights and practices of divine love can save our world: a spirituality of the Earth\, a renewed togetherness with plants and animals\, and a contemplative depth that brings us not only inward but that thrusts us into the very fabric of our living planet. \nJoin us online for our fourth annual conference\, as together we seek healing for our God\, for ourselves\, and for our world in the depths of divine love.
