Diarmuid O’Murchu has developed a startling and challenging theory that we live in an age of transition, where the old ways of relating to the world and each other are now redundant. He argues that the coming together over the last thirty years of ecological concerns, scientific exploration, human seeking and spiritual consciousness is the only way forward if we are to continue to be able to live on this planet.
Despite the decline in religious practice and influence, O’Murchu contends that spirituality evokes a widespread interest in our time. People within and outside the formal religions search for new spiritual meaning within this age of transition. He asserts that we need to retrieve and draw upon the long-lost subverted tradition of spirituality and re-establish its primary significance in the human search for meaning and purpose in life. This emerging spirituality will be a new paradigm that encompasses a multi-disciplinary point of view.
The title for O’Murchu’s 3 keynote presentations is HORIZON OF POSSIBILITIES: IMPLICATION FOR SPIRITUALITY. He will explore three aspects: the shift from boundaries to horizons; the unfolding spiritual landscape of our time; and the implications of the emerging spirituality.
Diarmuid O’Murchu is a member of the Sacred Heart Missionaries, and works as counselor and social psychologist in London, England. He is widely sought after internationally as a speaker and lecturer and has written extensively on spiritual issues of our time. Amongst the books that he has authored are Quantum Theology, Our World in Transition, Reclaiming Spirituality and Religion in Exile.
