Ten years ago, Pope Francis challenged us to hear both the “cry of the earth and the cry of the poor” as his groundbreaking encyclical letter Laudato Si’ offered a hopeful vision that called us to care for “our common home” and reminded us that “everything is connected.” Decades earlier, Rev. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J., a French Jesuit priest and scientist, challenged us to see the interconnectedness of all life. This dialogue will explore this call to make connections, drawing on the teachings of Pope Francis and the life and writings of Teilhard de Chardin, depicted in the recent film Teilhard: Visionary Scientist. We encourage you to watch the film before the Public Dialogue.
The panelists include The Teilhard Project's Frank Frost, and a leading expert in Teilhard's thought, Sr. Ilia Delio, OSF, as well as Sr. Libby Osgood, CND, and Diana Marin. The dialogue will be moderated by the Initiative’s Director, Kim Daniels.
