Teilhard de Chardin and the Six Propositions In 1925 the controversial Jesuit priest and scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was ordered to sign “The Six Propositions”. This Vatican document contained rigidly conservative teachings on original sin and human origins. Until now its content has been secret. The document will be made public for the first time and the issues surrounding it will be presented with interpretation and discussion. The day will include professional actors performing a staged reading of Inquisition, a new play by Paul Bentley which dramatizes Teilhard’s dilemma when faced with the Six Propositions: forced to believe in either the Bible or science. This is a Free but ticketed event, open to the public. Please register via Eventbrite: http://edin.ac/2A8R9G0 Contact: david.grumett@ed.ac.uk Paul Bentley is a British writer and actor.
