Old God, New God: A Two Session Program on New Theologies with Ilia Delio

February 10&17, 7:00 pm - 9:00pm

Dr Ilia Delio, OFM, PhD, a renowned scholar of religion and

science, will present a two-session online webinar called “Old

God, New God” from 7 to 9 PM on Mondays, Feb 10 and 17,

2025.


At the first session, Dr. Delio will discuss how new discoveries in

science, such as quantum physics, open up new theological

understandings. Ilia will invite participants to see the cosmos as

a sacred whole, where the universe is in God and God is in the

universe (while God is also more than the universe). At the

second session, Dr. Delio will discuss how these new

developments in theology support our engagement with a

personalized and relational universe.


Anyone for whom ancient doctrines of God and mechanistic

views of the universe are limiting will find “Old God, New God”

intriguing. This program will foster valuable understanding for

those who want to nurture their connection with the divine

whether within or outside a religious context. Wherever you are

on life’s journey, you are welcome to this event.



“Old God, New God” is co-sponsored by Hartford International University and The Spiritual Life Center. It is supported by the generous contribution from the Robertson Spirituality Series.




Cost:  As part of the partnership between SLC and HIU, this program is offered free to HIU students, and $30 for all others
