Teilhard continues, “In the centre, so glaring as to be disconcerting, is the uncompromising affirmation of a personal God: God as providence, directing the universe with loving, watchful care; and God the revealer, communicating himself to man on the level of and through the ways of intelligence.”
“Those words describe absolutely what I believe,” says Delia Smith. “They are from a book called The Human Phenomenon, written by a French Jesuit priest called Teilhard de Chardin.”
