    Process Explorations

    The fall series of Process Explorations explores Compassion, Creativity, and Global Citizenship. At a time when many parts of the world are in political, economic, ecological, and ethical turmoil, what might process thought and ways of life contribute to the deepening of compassion and creativity and to practices of global citizenship? The session on September 22 explores this question through the lives of three remarkable persons who contributed in quite different ways to the quality of life in the United States, both for human communities and for the entire ecosphere.

  • Theology Beer Camp 2026: The Godpodcalypse

    Theology Beer Camp isn’t just an event—it’s an immersive experience where deep theological musings meet serious laughs, craft beer, and a room full of fellow theology nerds ready to debate everything from divine omnipotence to which beer style reigns supreme. This year, the theme is The Godpodcalypse—and we’re bringing in Cornel West, Ilia Delio, Gary Dorrien, Diana Butler Bass, Kristen Du Mez and more to give insight on how to navigate these “unprecedented times.”

  • Love, Conflict, and an Unfolding Universe

    In 2026, the Center for Christogenesis celebrated a decade of visionary work—ten years of imagining love as the energy of transformation, and a pivotal turning point as that work continues under a new name: the World Institute for Science, Religion and Culture (WISR). We invite you to gather with us in person (and online) at Villanova University to mark this milestone and deepen our shared journey.
