The God of Revolution: Beyond Racism & the Remaking of Religion
Online Zoom– Register
Franciscan Sister Ilia Delio of the Omega Center offers fresh insights rooted in science and theology. While a deadly virus has unleashed a pandemic, there is another type of virus lurking beneath the thin layers of our lives. It is the virus of racism, greed, and power, a “survival of the fittest” mentality. We cannot survive far into the future with a mentality that privileges some of us over the whole.
The 21st century needs a God Revolution. We must seek to redefine a God of creative love by seeking to renew a God in love entangled with a dynamic, unfinished universe. The future is open and ours to create; the COVID-19 crisis and our political unrest is an urgent invitation to remake our world.
