CCE Contemplative Enrichment Day
With the Rt. Rev. Br. Mark D’Alessio
What if evolution is the arena of God’s presence? This contemplative workshop explores the converging visions of Thomas Berry and Ilia Delio, who invite a faith spacious enough for science, Earth, and cosmos. Berry awakens us to the sacred Earth community and our place within the universe’s unfolding story. Delio, drawing on evolutionary science and the Franciscan tradition, proclaims Christ as Omega Love at the heart of an unfinished universe. Through reflection, dialogue, and practice, we will explore evolution as sacred story and ecological healing as spiritual conversion.
