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:Does God Need Us?
DESCRIPTION:The St. Catherine of Siena Lecture will be given online and in-person by Ilia Delio for our partner The Well Spirituality Center\, co-sponsored by The Siena Center of Dominican University. \nClassical theology states that God freely creates\, that is\, God creates with no other motive than God’s own desire and delight. God is in relationship with us but does not depend on us. Teilhard de Chardin reflected on God’s relationship to the world and concluded that God and the world are in mutual relationship. God is not so much delighted by the world but dependent on the world for God’s own fullness of life. We will explore Teilhard’s insights with regard to the significance of the cosmic Christ\, Christian life\, and the Church. \nA recording will be available to registrants via email approximately 3 business days after the program. \nTo purchase tickets and learn more visit the event page. Please contact The Well Spirituality Center with questions.
