A video preview and course description follows...
We are an evolutionary species with an unfolding story of some seven million years. World religions, including Christianity, are only beginning to come to terms with our long sacred story, in which the Holy One has been co-creating over these several eons. As Earthlings, who belong deeply to the natural world, we have developed capacities for wisdom and faith from our long evolutionary experience that witness powerfully to the divine at work within and around us.
The implications of this enlarged horizon are substantial. They challenge the inherited understandings of God, Jesus, creation, human meaning, and open new evolutionary thresholds for a more dynamic, creative, and peaceful way of relating to our world. These new understandings support evolutionary growth to the benefit of all the creative beings with whom we share the web of life.

The popular author and speaker offers a new way to seek spiritual meaning in a world where inherited doctrines and dogmas are falling away.
What if our true human story began with original blessing rather than original sin? What if our true nature is one that thrives in healthy relationships with one another and all of creation? Drawing on groundbreaking insights from paleontology and paleoanthropology, Diarmuid O’Murchu argues for a new understanding of the human story, one that shows that we are creative earthlings, beloved by the God who has made all things.
