IN FOCUS

Good News and More To Do…

When it comes to Teilhard: Visionary Scientist, we are most grateful for much good news: streaming nationally and internationally; more than 35,000 viewers around the world; three broadcast dates; the filmā€™s translation into Mandarin, as well as Arabic, Turkish, and Farsi, for future satellite broadcast in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

And the feedback from viewers has been extraordinarily positive: Ā ā€œRiveting, moving, beautifully done.ā€ ā€œThe content is deep, yet approachable and rich with history.ā€ ā€œI believe it will have a lasting impact on my life.ā€ These are just a few of the comments from viewers from around the United States and across the world ā€“ Luxembourg, India, France, Russia, and Australia, to name a few places. Read more reviews from viewers at this blog link.

But our job is not done.  We need to keep expanding the filmā€™s audience, and achieve its full impact through educational and community outreach. Teilhardā€™s evolutionary vision responds to many of the critical issues we face today, in both civil society, and in the world of religion. He models the resolution of tension between science and faith.  He speaks to a new generation deeply involved in climate change, technology, medical innovations, and space exploration.  His focus on the evolution of consciousness resonates with the ascent of artificial intelligence (AI).  In short, he calls us to accept our role and responsibility in co-creating the future. 

In addition to further broadcasts and distribution, this requires educational outreach to high schools, colleges, parishes, retreat houses, scientific institutions.  It means editing and adding our scholar interviews to our website, along with video clips we were unable to squeeze into the film. 

All of these efforts require financial resources ā€“Ā need your help.Ā Ā Know that we are most grateful for whatever you can donate to support our ongoing efforts.
