Villa Maria Education and Spirituality Center Contemporary science has radically changed our understanding of nature and, consequently, our understanding of the God-world relationship. We will consider the God-world as a whole and discuss this whole as the movement of the God-world into the singularity of Jesus, the Christ. Topics will include open and relational theology, God-consciousness, entanglement, complexity and the cosmic mystery of the Christic. We will explore how a new God-world holism can help heal our planet.  Cost: $105.00 (Includes program, lunch and refreshments)   Ilia Delio, OSF, PhD is a Franciscan Sister of Washington, DC and American theologian specializing in science and religion, with interests in evolution, physics and neuroscience and the import of these for theology.
