The British Teilhard Network

The British Teilhard Network promotes the work and vision of the priest-scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin – a vision of love, of fire, of convergence, of a world in evolution energised by spirit, a vision of dynamism and direction – of a universe in movement towards its ultimate consummation or completion in a ‘universal cosmic centre’ or ‘centre of centres’.
Where are we heading?
What is the meaning of life?
Teilhard gives answers to these questions based on deep thought, reflection and mystical insight.
Are you on a quest that makes sense in our world – a world of change, a cosmos in evolution? If you are, this is the site for you.

 THIS MONTH’S RECOMMENDED BOOK
Heart of My Own Heart by John-Francis Friendship – Canterbury Press 2024
Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was formerly popular, but nowadays is less so. Fr. Friendship’s book explores the history of this practice, and suggests many ways in which such devotion would still be very valuable. And in “The Cosmic Heart” chapter he quotes Teilhard, who was devoted to the Sacred Heart: “Under the symbol of the Sacred Heart the divine assumed for me the form of fire… It is in the Sacred Heart that the conjunction of the divine and the cosmic has taken place”.
