Topic: Teilhard de Chardin as Process Thinker: Why We Can’t Stay Still and Neither Can God

Presenter(s): Ilia Delio

Teilhard de Chardin was an insightful process thinker who developed insights on science and religion that are valuable for our age. His ideas on a metaphysics of union, hyperphysics, the physics of love and mindful materiality all play a role in the Godworld relationship. I will discuss Teilhard’s unique contribution to process thought in his notion of the Christic and the elusive Omega Point.
