Mag. Augustina Comte

Mag. Augustina Comte is the High Priestess of the Temple of Science, a global fellowship of believers in Science, Technology, and the Spirit of Progress. Ordained in 2013, she holds an honorary doctorate in speculative theology from the Sapienza University of Rome. Her formal training includes graduate-level studies in science, technology, and society at a private research institute in the Boston area.

As senior editor at the Temple’s publishing imprint, Magisterium, Mag.

Comte also travels widely for the purposes of research and evangelism, and she has been invited to speak at such venues as the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Alberta, Canada, 2015) and the Spencer Museum of Art (Lawrence, Kansas, USA, 2018).
