SUMMARY:Conference - Love\, Conflict\, and an Unfolding Universe (Hybrid; Partner Event)
DESCRIPTION:The World Institute for Science\, Religion and Culture (WISR) is hosting a landmark conference this November exploring how love\, creativity\, and evolutionary consciousness shape our moment. Love\, Conflict\, and an Unfolding Universe marks a decade of WISR’s visionary work at the intersection of spirituality\, science\, and culture. \n\n\n\nMany of the speakers will be familiar to the Franciscan community\, including Ilia Delio\, OSF\, Kathleen Duffy\, SSJ\, Daniel P. Horan\, PhD\, and others whose scholarship continues to influence spiritual thinkers across traditions. \n\n\n\nThis gathering offers an important space for anyone discerning how we arrived at this moment in history — and how we might imagine and build something better together.  \n\n\n\nLearn more and register: https://wisrinstitute.org/2026-conference/
