The Cosmic Pilgrim is an introduction to the world of eco-theology. Based on the vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, it describes the nature of reality in our Cosmos that is continually unfolding within our expanding consciousness, and the journey, the pilgrimage, of the universe through space and time toward its consummate destiny within the fullness of God. This radical, evolutionary perspective is part of the new story of science and religion. Mathematical cosmologist and visionary Brian Swimme is the chosen guide to this new cosmology, and his insights form the continuing thread of the book. His mentor, Thomas Berry, is well represented here, as are other great thinkers from the realms of science and theology: Jurgen Moltmann, Alfred North Whitehead, C. S. Lewis, John Polkinghorne, and John Haught. The Cosmic Pilgrim presents a personal, easy-to-grasp map of the current interface between ecology, religion, and science. It aims to develop a spirituality that is grounded in the present struggle of moving beyond our Earth-damaging, industrial mindset toward a higher vision of vibrant planetary community. At the same time it seeks out the wider horizon of ultimate meaning and ponders the mystery of the far future and our cosmic destiny. Although the book reflects the author's Christian background, it is nonsectarian in approach and could be enjoyed by any seeker interested in developing a ""green"" spirituality. ""The Cosmic Pilgrim offers a rare and wonderful weaving of personal curiosity and insight with evolutionary consciousness, faith and trust in the God who is love, and the ultimate question of human purpose and fulfillment. The author's contemplative gaze takes one on an enjoyable journey from the largest context of our existence, to the inner pilgrimage of the human heart that longs to become love against all odds."" --Maureen Wild, SC Founding Director, Centre for Earth and Spirit, Vancouver Island and Pax Gaia Educational and Retreat Initiatives Margaret MacIntyre has been a member of a religious congregation and raised a family. This is her first book.
