Thirteen theologians, (many familiar names such as Rachel Held Evans, Michael Morewood, Matthew Fox, Michael Dowd) share their insights about spirituality in the face of discoveries from the Hubble and Webb telescopes. The Hubble’s first picture was May 20, 1990, and the Webb’s July 12, 2022!
How then, do we think about the mystery of a creator God present in the 100-200 billion galaxies discovered in just the last 35 years?
“Mystery is a condition of awe, of resting precisely in an unknowing, long enough for the silence to have its way with us. The goal of this curriculum is to create some space for us to inhabit this mystery more deeply, and explore the relationship between science, particularly evolution, and religion. Perhaps most importantly, the hope is that each participant will feel from the inside what it is like to be the presence of all this creativity showing up after 13.7 billion years as him or her. Without this felt sense of being one with the creative process that is ceaselessly animating life, the conversation will remain objective and academic. We invite you to engage these seven weeks with an awareness that you are not separate from the creativity that produced you.”
— Bruce Sanguin, Author of If Darwin Prayed
