The Center for Christogenesis organizes conferences, offers live virtual webinars, and holds online workshops featuring Ilia Delio and others at the cutting edge of the intersection between science and religion. Join us and our partner organizations as we integrate science with converging religious thought and unpack new stories about humanity and the cosmic whole.
Our programming is open to all faith traditions. We welcome anyone seeking theological innovation or spiritual renewal.
Teilhard uniquely integrated the scientific knowledge of his day with a spiritual view that he regarded as a metamorphosis of the Christian religion. Today, he has been largely forgotten by scientists and continues to be read mostly for his spiritual quality. This is unfortunate, because Teilhard was remarkably prescient about developments in evolutionary science that…
Teilhard’s cosmic vision still offers a rich setting for our understanding not only of life, but also of mind, morality, and religion. This webinar brings out the theological distinctiveness of Teilhard’s vision of life by contrasting it with traditional pre-scientific theologies of life on the one hand and contemporary naturalist/materialist interpretations of life and its…
“Blessed be you, mighty matter, irresistible march of evolution, reality ever newborn; you who, by constantly shattering our mental categories, force us to go ever further and further in our pursuit of the truth.” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin We have a choice now to turn the fate of the earth into a hopeful future. Our…
“We have all lived through a time of great unraveling. Yet, with great disruption comes a possibility for change. We can’t just be healed; we must be transformed.” Carrie Newcomer The soulful wisdom of singer-songwriter Carrie Newcomer, dubbed a “prairie mystic” by the Boston Globe, offers a balm for this anxious and exhausted age…
We are a global people on a planet in crisis. Extreme 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. These deep wounds begin with ourselves. Healing the Earth requires that…
The new science gives us a window to see a new understanding of God in the material world. We will explore some of these new insights by talking about matter, mind and the fires of the heart. Christianity is distinguished by its faith claim, the divine Word became flesh, which undergirds the doctrine of the…

“There is something too narrow and something missing in the Gospel as presented to us today… Wider horizons, not a tighter rein—that, if I am not mistaken, is the only remedy that can effectively bring our generation back to the ways of truth.” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Philosophically refined concepts of God from antiquity to…
“Blessed be you, mighty matter, irresistible march of evolution, reality ever newborn; you who, by constantly shattering our mental categories, force us to go ever further and further in our pursuit of the truth.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin We live in a volatile world where catastrophic events seem to happen spontaneously and ever more…
What’s really going on in the universe? A Message from Dr. Haught: The point of theology, as I understand it, is to explore “the reasons for our hope” (1 Peter 3:15). After Einstein, theology cannot avoid asking whether the discovery that the cosmos is a long story with interesting outcomes may in some way give us new reasons…
Join us for a webinar with Ilia Delio “Pantheism in an Age of Entanglement: Rethinking the Meaning of God” What does the word “God” mean? Many of us grew up with an image of God as an elderly male figure watching over us from above. This image, however, is neither faithful to Scripture nor to…
The humanity of Jesus relates to every human person, without exception due to race, religion, language, or creed. The heart of every human person—rich, poor, black, white, Jew, or Hindu—is entangled with the spirit of God’s love. Every person has a God center, every person is part of the Christ mystery, and every person can manifest the Christ.
