The American Teilhard Association (www.teilharddechardin.org) is a non-profit organization whose goals are to explore philosophical, scientific, religious, social and environmental concerns in light of Teilhard's vision and to clarify the role of the human phenomenon in this emerging understanding of the cosmos.  This is one of the best associations to help carry out the vision of Teilhard and the perspective of former ATA President,Thomas Berry ("geologian"-priest).  All are welcome to join in the great work of shaping a future worthy of planet Earth, of ourselves and of our children.

Annual regular membership is $35; Household: $40; full time Student, under 30 years: $10.

Members receive 2 newsletters and 2 Teilhard Studies pamphlets and the annual meeting notice yearly.  Please contact American Teilhard Association, c/o John Grim, 29 Spoke Drive, Woodbridge, CT 06525.

Why Consider Religion and Science?

  Why Consider Religion and Science on Our Journey? We are attracted by Truth, Beauty and Goodness.  Religion and Science enlighten and engage us.  They complement one another.
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."  Einstein.  Science reveals the magnificence and the fine tuning of Earth in the Cosmos.  Creation is ongoing.  For believers, this points to an intelligent, unfathomable Creator.
       Many look forward to related discussions at the Annual Springtime American Teilhard Meeting  in NYC.  See
www.teilharddechardin.org which explores and builds on the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J., renowned Jesuit-scientist.

   The Golden Rule is Never Out of Date Re: Environment, Immigration, Etc. on Our Journey.  Can we walk at least a mile in the moccasins of others and then act for the common good as global citizens toward global communion?
