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
Science and spirituality: an alliance starting from the big bang: a life journey by Johan Germonpré – Amazon 2023
“How did life originate? What is the future of humanity and our planet? Is there a purpose? Does our life have meaning? Is there life after death? In this revealing book, answers are sought through the most recent sciences: quantum mechanics, evolution and relativity. The sublime story of the universe and life unfolds before us six laws of evolution, which also manage the future of humanity.”
This book is truly Teilhardian – “only connect” sums it up, perhaps. Interweaving the main text with the author’s personal experiences and suggestions was an excellent notion, and for non-scientists (the book’s intended readership) the sections on quantum physics are a particular boon.

Who was Teilhard de Chardin?

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881 - 1955) was a French Jesuit, a distinguished palaeontologist and geologist, and especially well known as a religious writer, the author of The Human Phenomenon and The Divine Milieu, and other books. He was a fervent Christian mystic, a deeply caring pastor of souls, and a thinker who developed and projected forward the meaning of the Christian gospel in the light of modern science and evolution.
