We hope you can join us for the Omega Center’s first Conference!

CHRISTIANITY AS PLANETARY FAITH: ENGAGING TEILHARD’S VISION

Is Christianity old and tired or does it have an inner power to transform the world? Teilhard thought so and linked Christianity with evolution.

What does an evolutionary Christianity mean for the planet today?

Come and join us for engaged conversation, as we explore the heart of religion in an unfinished universe.
