SUMMARY:Process and Faith Launches New "Book Club" Series
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce that Process and Faith is launching a new Book Club! From time to time we will be announcing a featured book which we will have for sale in our bookstore\, Flux\, and which will be discussed in a CST group setting – both in person and online – on announced dates.  \nThe first book in this new series is a unique CST edited collaboration between PhD student Andrew M. Davis and Dr. Philip Clayton. How I Found God In Everyone and Everywhere: An Anthology of Spiritual Memoirs is the first of its kind\, featuring never-before-published accounts of the spiritual and intellectual journeys of some of today’s leaders and how they have come to understand “God.” With personal accounts written by Deepak Chopra\, Richard Rohr\, Cynthia Bourgeault\, Rupert Sheldrake\, Ilia Delio\, Keith Ward\, and others — the book offers a fascinating variety of possibilities for the spiritual path in the twenty-first century. It also features the spiritual journeys of some of the most prominent process thinkers of our time — John B. Cobb Jr. (who established the Center for Process Studies)\, Marjorie Suchocki (founder of Process and Faith)\, Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson (the leading process thinker in Judaism)\, as well as Davis and Clayton\, the book’s two editors. It is a timely look into a still-emerging spirituality and the different ways modern leaders have “returned to God after God” today. Copies of the book can be purchased for $15.00 in the Center for Process Studies. \nThe P&F Book Club conversation will take place on January 24\, 2019\, 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. on the campus of Claremont School of Theology (room location to be announced). And we will be having the conversation with the book’s editors Andrew Davis & Philip Clayton. So mark your calendars now\, because you won’t want to miss this opportunity to engage in lively conversation with these two dynamic people who have interacted with some of the great spiritual minds and leaders of our time. You will be able to join us for the conversation\, either in person here on the beautiful campus of CST\, or online in the comfort of your own home.

SUMMARY:Process Summer Institute 2018
DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE PROCESS THEOLOGY WITH: \n\nThomas Jay Oord in the course\nExploring Process Theology among the Varieties of Open and Relational Theologies\n9:00 am – 11:00 am\, Monday – Friday\n \n\nOpen and relational theologies come in many forms. Process theology is one of the best known. But many who embrace beliefs common to open and relational theologies distance themselves from the “process” label. Why is that? What is at stake? What do words like “open\,” “relational\,” and “process” mean? And where does “love” fit in? This course explores ways God can be thought to be in process\, relational\, and open. It draws from progressive & conservative voices\, the Bible & science\, common experience & miracles\, and more. Along the way\, opportunities for new open and relational beliefs will likely emerge\, as we explore and generate novel views of God and existence. \nREAD SYLLABUS \n  \nWm. Andrew Schwartz in the course\nProcess Theology in the World’s Wisdom Traditions: Buddhism\, Islam\, Judaism\, Hinduism\, and Christianity\n1:00 pm – 3:00 pm\, Monday – Friday \n \nNo doubt\, Process Theology has been developed most fully within the framework of progressive Christian (liberal) theology. As Gary Dorrien notes\, “Whiteheadian process theology became the leading liberal school in the second half of the twentieth century” (The Making of American Liberal Theology\, 190). However\, many of the core principles of Process Thought are also found within other major Wisdom Traditions. This course will examine how process thought intersects with\, and takes shape through 5 of the world’s religions (Buddhism\, Islam\, Judaism\, Hinduism\, and Christianity); exploring ways in which Process notions of power\, knowledge\, freedom\, ultimacy\, love\, etc. are being expressed in each tradition. The course will be supplemented by guest speakers representing each of these faith traditions. \nREAD SYLLABUS \n \nJay McDaniel\, in the course\nIntimacy & Transcendence in the Thick of Life: Exploring Process Theology through Popular Music\n4:00 pm – 6:00 pm\, Monday – Friday \n \nThis course explores relations between popular music and process theology\, drawing upon resources from NPR music as a primary source for understanding what is going on “musically” in the worlds of popular music. By listening to the music profiled by NPR\, reading selected articles on popular music and theology and short essays from Open Horizons\, we will explore ways in which various genres of popular music\, and various artists\, communicate key ideas in process theology and can serve to “introduce process theology” to a new generation. Please bring your musical tastes\, and get ready to have your ears stretched. \nREAD SYLLABUS \n  \n  \nAnd Join in the Lunchtime Process & Ministry Round-Table Discussions\nwith David Grant Smith\, facilitator\n11:15 am – 12:45 pm\, Monday – Friday \nJoin with other Summer Institute participants in discussing how Process Theology can be utilized in various aspects of ministry. Each day there will be a brief presentation from a “boots on the ground” process theologian\, followed by an open discussion of how Process Theology can be used in ministry settings. In these discussions\, we are all experts\, working to share our ideas and experience. Lunch can be purchased in advance when you register\, or you may bring your own. Either way\, plan to join in these lively and productive discussions\, aimed at sharing ideas for the use of Process Theology in a variety of ministry contexts. \n \n\n\n\nMONDAY\nProcess Theology in Pastoral Care\nDavid Grant Smith\n\n\nTUESDAY\nProcess Approaches to Preaching\nJeanyne Slettom\n\n\nWEDNESDAY\nProcess Theology & Healing\nBruce G. Epperly\n\n\nTHURSDAY\nProcess Theology in Group Processes\nJeanyne Slettom\n\n\nFRIDAY\nProcess Theology & Social Justice Ministries\nTimothy Murphy\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\nThis year’s Process Theology Summer Institute will take place June 4-8\, 2018. Our intensive courses are designed to introduce basic issues in the theory and application of process theology. Participants may attend the Institute in person on the campus of Claremont School of Theology\, or online in the comfort of their own homes.
