Join us via Zoom on Monday evenings for a Lenten book study as we read The Heart of Matter by priest and scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955). We will focus on the essays “The Heart of Matter,” a spiritual autobiography written in 1950, toward the end of his life, and “The Christic,” written a month before Teilhard died. Both works expand upon Teilhard’s vision of the universe evolving to deeper relationship with God.
I facilitate sessions by guiding us through the assigned reading for each week. I will write down some talking points and draw out excerpts from the text for reflection to keep us moving along, however, I emphatically encourage participants to feel free to bring up whatever they would like to discuss from the text. We don’t seek to draw conclusions. We aim to immerse ourselves within Teilhard’s words as to contemplate how they apply to our lives.

I will respond with a confirmation email. I look forward to you joining us!
