The Christic Self:  What it is and Why it Matters
with Ilia Delio, OSF

This talk will explore Teilhard de Chardin’s notion of the christic self, looking at its formation, significance, and the bigger question of whether or not the christic self makes a difference to a world evolution.  Do our beliefs and spiritual practices really make a difference?

Ilia Delio, OSF is a Franciscan Sister of Washington, DC and holds the Josephine C. Connelly Chair in Theology at Villanova University. Her area of research is Systematic-Constructive theology with a focus on evolution, quantum physics and artificial intelligence, and the import of these for Christian doctrine and life.  She is the author of twenty-four books including The Not-yet God, The Hours of the Universe, winner of the 2022 Gold Nautilus Book Award, and Making All Things New: Catholicity, Cosmology and Consciousness, a finalist for the 2019 Michael Ramsey prize.  She lectures nationally and internationally on topics in Science and Religion is founder of the Center for Christogenesis, an online spiritual and educational resource for the integration of science, religion and culture.
