Does God Need Us?

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.

Classical 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.

A recording will be available to registrants via email approximately 3 business days after the program.
