SUMMARY:Beauty in a Time of Lament with Jay McDaniel and Patricia Adams Farmer (Process & Faith Twin Cities)
DESCRIPTION:We live in difficult and trying times . . . \n\n\n\nProcess theology offers us the idea that\, even in the worst of times\, there dwells within the human heart and within nature a lure toward beauty: soul beauty\, natural beauty\, moral beauty\, artistic beauty\, and tragic beauty. In each instance what makes beauty “beautiful” is not that it is necessarily happy\, although sometimes it is; but rather that it is inherently attractive\, meaning giving\, and\, in a certain way\, refreshing. Beauty gives the soul peace\, hope\, and the energy to carry on. \n\n\n\nMcDaniel and Farmer will share their views and invite yours on the many forms of beauty\, including musical beauty and the beauty of landscapes and waterways\, animals and plants\, as they offer opportunities for touching God and moving forward\, no matter how trying the times. \n\n\n\nDiscussion Leaders \n\n\n\nJay McDaniel is Executive Director of the Cobb Institute for Community and Practice and author of several books\, including What is Process Thought? Seven Answers to Seven Questions. His website\, openhorizons.org\, features many articles and images at the intersection of process and beauty. \n\n\n\nPatricia Adams Farmer is a process theologian\, minister\, and writer with a special focus on beauty. She is the author of Embracing a Beautiful God\, Fat Soul: A Philosophy of S-I-Z-E\, Replanting Ourselves in Beauty\, Beauty and Process Theology\, and two theological novels. \n\n\n\nSuggested reading \n\n\n\nhttps://www.openhorizons.org/my-religion-is-beauty-patricia-adams-farmer.html \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProcess and Faith Twin Cities is an ecumenical organization of theologians\, ministers\, and others who are interested in the theological and practical implications of process-relational theology. Our events are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Interfaith Explorations Summer 2022: Spirit and the Movies II
DESCRIPTION:After the overwhelming success of our Spring 2022 session of ‘Spirit and the Movies’\, we have decided to continue our exploration of film and spirituality. After we see a film (a movie\, a documentary\, a super bowl advertisement) we are inwardly moved. We wonder to ourselves: How did it inspire me? Challenge me? Move me? What did I learn from it? What questions does it raise for me? It is especially meaningful if we can discuss this with others – we grow through this discussion. In this eight-week session\, we will make use of films and their reviews as springboards for our own soulful reflections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister at the Interfaith Center

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Process Theology and the Enneagram
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Ken Pearson & Jay McDaniel \n\n\n\nThe enneagram teaches you who you are not—Enneagram master teacher\, Suzanne Stabile \n\n\n\nProcess theology invites us to imagine God as “in process” with us\, adapting to our unique situation and context by availing us of fresh possibilities for a journey into wholeness\, relative to our personality and propensities.  We can become more available to God’s living presence by understanding our gifts and limitations and appreciating the gifts of others who are different from us.  God works in them in their ways\, just as God works in us in our ways.  With its powerful typology\, the Enneagram contributes significantly to this self-understanding and appreciation.  It also helps us recognize that\, so often our gifts our also our sins\, thus avoiding the liabilities of self-deception.  Our hour together will provide an opportunity to consider the Enneagram types\, to see their relevance to process theology\, and to consider how\, together\, the Enneagram and process theology might help us grow in our potential to help heal a broken world.  The wholeness we seek is not personal alone\, but social and ecological too. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources \n\n\n\nBooksThe Road Back to You The Path Between Us: An Enneagram Journey to Healthy RelationshipsThe Journey Toward WholenessWhat’s My Type?The Complete EnneagramEnneagram: Understanding Yourself and the Others in You LifeThe Spiritual Dimension of the EnneagramThe Enneagram: A Christian PerspectiveEnneagram SpiritualityEnneagram Daily ReflectionsThe Wisdom of the Enneagram: The Complete Guide to Psychological and Spiritual Growth forthe Nine Personality TypesMirror for the Soul: A Christian Guide to the EnneagramThe Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth & Workbook \n\n\n\nPodcastsEnneagram 2.0 — Beatrice Chestnut & Uranio PaesThe Road Back to You — Ian Cron & Suzanne StabileThe Enneagram Journey — Suzanne StabileTypology — Ian Cron \n\n\n\nOther ResourcesLife In the Trinity Ministry: www.lifeinthetrinityministry.comEvents\, Bookstore\, DVD’s\, MP3’s\, Podcasts\, Enneagram Journey workbooks“The Table” – online subscription service / $15/ monthFacebook Page – Life in the Trinity MinistryPeter White – The Sabbath Life www.thesabbathlife.comMenu: Blogs / EnneagramSpiritual Direction: Rev.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: The Kyoto School: a Buddhist Contribution to Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Jared Morningstar\n\n\n\nJoin a sophisticated discussion of the Kyoto School of philosophy and how these cosmopolitan Buddhist thinkers offer resources for building ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nFrom The Kyoto School: True Emptiness\, Wondrous Being website: \n\n\n\n“The Kyoto School was founded by Nishida Kitaro at the beginning of the 20th century\, and now covers three generations of philosophers who have endeavoured to express the insights of the East in the philosophical language of the West. As they did so\, however\, they have in fact created a new kind of philosophy\, a radically new way of thinking from the standpoint of emptiness – and empathy – which goes beyond the limited scope of traditional Western philosophy\, which is the standpoint of being – and that of the self-centred calculative mind\, cut off from a true experience of reality. Their insights will be of interest to those interested in current research about the nature of consciousness and cognition\, as well as those concerned by the inadequacy of the prevalent Western mode of thinking in tackling social\, political\, economic and environmental issues.” \n\n\n\nThe Kyoto School and its representatives offer a unique dialogue with traditions of Process thought\, as both maintain a skepticism of the dominant substance ontology of much of mainline Western thinking. In his forward to Nishitani’s masterpiece\, Religion and Nothingness\, scholar Winston L. King writes that  \n\n\n\n“One other possibility remains [for dialogue between the Kyoto School and Western thought] in the field of American philosophy\, and one that has been slightly explored already. To this writer it seems to have the greatest potential for sustaining a full philosophical-religious contact between Buddhist East and Christian West of any thought pattern in America. This is the so-called process philosophy which had its roots in the thought of A. N. Whitehead\, especially in his seminal Process and Reality” (Winston L. King\, “Foreward” in Religion and Nothingness by Keiji Nishitani\, Nanzan Studies in Religion and Culture. Berkeley: University of California Press\, 1983\, xxi). \n\n\n\nThis pop-up will examine the specific resources provided by these philosophers of emptiness for collaborating in the project of ecological civilization. \n\n\n\nThis pop-up will be hosted on Zoom by Jared Morningstar. The session will last approximately one hour. Resources pertaining to the topic are linked below as springboards for discussion. Feel free to explore these resources to whatever extent interests you prior to the pop-up. \n\n\n\nResources: \n\n\n\nScience and Technology: Nature Denaturalised and Humans DehumanisedWatsuji’s Idea of the Self and the Problem of Spatial Distance in Environmental EthicsReligion and Science in Nishitani KeijiThe Kyoto School Philosophy on Place: Nishida and Ueda

SUMMARY:Readings on Faiths
DESCRIPTION:A Book Group Exploring the Diversity of Religion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReadings on Faiths Around the World is a book group that reads and discusses books covering the vast diversity of world faiths. Of course\, the standard seven world religions will be included but we will also explore less well-known religious/spiritual groups including Afro-Caribbean\, Bahá’í\, Humanist\, Jain\, Pagan\, Zoroastrian\, and more. The only prerequisite needed for this group is a desire to learn more about the world’s religious traditions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will begin with Stephen Prothero’s God is not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World\, one of the best books on world religions. \n\n\n\nFrom the title it is clear Prothero does not believe religions are the same. He argues we distort religions by claiming how similar they are rather than looking at the differences that make each unique. \n\n\n\nProthero points to what he calls “pretend pluralism.” Pluralism became popular following World War II with religious writers/scholars like Huston Smith. Smith presented the idea in his book The Religions of Man published in 1958. The Religions of Man claims the essential unity of religions by focusing on spiritual experience rather than doctrine or dogma. This led to the claim that the world’s religions were simply different paths leading to the same goal. Prothero\, however\, argues that religion is too important to pawn off as having no significant differences. Religions should be understood as they are\, not just at their best but also at their worst. \n\n\n\n\n\nProthero closes his introduction with the following: \n\n\n\n“One of the most common misconceptions about the world’s religions is that they plumb the same depths\, ask the same questions. They do not. . . . Every religion\, however\, asks after the human condition. Here we are in these human bodies. What now? What next? What are we to become?” (24) \n\n\n\nTo join\, click GOING\, and enter your name and email.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Buddhist Disenchantment & Process Reenchantment
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Doug Holmes\n\n\n\nBuddhists have long taught that the spiritual life eventually requires one to become disenchanted with the world. Process thinkers have suggested that to overcome our civilizational ills we need to reenchant the world that modernity has disenchanted. Do we have to choose\, or can we have both? We’ll examine some quotes about reenchantment and disenchantment from the process philosopher David Ray Griffin and the Theravadin Buddhist teacher Ajahn Chah. Process thought and Buddhism have a long and fruitful history\, but will this drive a wedge between them? Join us for an enchanted hour as we divine into these questions.  \n\n\n\nPlease read through these excerpts prior to the session: https://chemicalx.solutions/enchantment/

SUMMARY:Hidden Gems Learning Circle: Session 6
DESCRIPTION:This learning circle\, geared towards participants with some familiarity with process thought but lacking substantial knowledge of the Islamic tradition\, will attempt to present the religion of Islam in connection with the core values or “four hopes” of Process & Faith: Whole Persons\, Whole Communities\, Whole Planet\, and Holistic Thinking. Over the course of six sessions\, aspects of Islamic spirituality\, ritual practice\, legal theory\, philosophy\, and sacred texts will be explored in light of these values\, showing how the resources of the Islamic tradition have the potential to build towards these same aims. The course will begin with a general introduction to Islam and conclude with a case study of Muhammad Iqbal\, a South Asian Muslim philosopher and poet who is the clearest example of Islamic process-relational thinking in recent times. \n\n\n\nA variety of resources will be provided for each session which participants are encouraged to explore at their leisure prior to the discussion. Sessions will begin with a brief presentation on the major topics to be covered\, followed by space for questions and open-ended dialogue which to further connect these Islamic intellectual and spiritual resources with process thinking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo RSVP\, click the “Going” button\, enter your name and email\, and the meeting information will be emailed to you.

Over the course of six sessions\, aspects of Islamic spirituality\, ritual practice\, legal theory\, philosophy\, and sacred texts will be explored in light of these values\, showing how the resources of the Islamic tradition have the potential to build towards these same aims. The course will begin with a general introduction to Islam and conclude with a case study of Muhammad Iqbal\, a South Asian Muslim philosopher and poet who is the clearest example of Islamic process-relational thinking in recent times. \n\n\n\nA variety of resources will be provided for each session which participants are encouraged to explore at their leisure prior to the discussion. Sessions will begin with a brief presentation on the major topics to be covered\, followed by space for questions and open-ended dialogue which to further connect these Islamic intellectual and spiritual resources with process thinking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo RSVP\, click the “Going” button\, enter your name and email\, and the meeting information will be emailed to you.

DESCRIPTION:After we see a film (a movie\, a documentary\, a super bowl advertisement) we are inwardly moved. We wonder to ourselves: How did it inspire me? Challenge me? Move me? What did I learn from it? What questions does it raise for me? It is especially meaningful if we can discuss this with others – we grow through this discussion. In this eight-week session\, we will make use of films and their reviews as springboards for our own soulful reflections. \n\n\n\nSponsored by The Interfaith Center\, Process and Faith\, and Spirituality & Practice \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up on Zoom

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Daoist Meditation as Practice and Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Zhenbao Jin\n\n\n\nMeditation is not simply a practice\, but a philosophy-based practice\, or a practice-based philosophy. With philosophy I mean our fundamental understanding of life and the cosmos\, and especially\, our understanding of life and death. \n\n\n\nEach of us begins the practice of meditation with a certain philosophy. The point is\, what is our purpose to do the practice of meditation? Are we trying to prove that philosophy is true? \n\n\n\nIt depends on the philosophy itself. A philosophy that holds death is an inevitable and natural result of life will have effect upon the practice of meditation very different from a philosophy that holds death is not the end and life\, including body and soul\, has a potential of perpetual development. \n\n\n\nTaoism belongs to the latter category. I would like to introduce my practice and research on these issues and expect a lively discussion with other members of the community. \n\n\n\nI will talk about Daoist philosophy for about 20 minutes and then we will have a discussion. In the last 20 minutes I will introduce the practice of Daoist meditation and lead a 10-minute session. After that\, we will discuss about the experience. \n\n\n\nFor more information on Daoist meditation\, the following links would be helpful: \n\n\n\nMEDITATIONTAOISTWritten Evidence\, submitted to the UK parliament on the significance of meditation to help elder people lead healthy\, independent and fulfilled lives

SUMMARY:Interfaith Screening: “Mission: Joy” | University of La Verne

SUMMARY:The Future of Process Theology
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 90 years since Alfred North Whitehead’s seminal publication\, Process and Reality\, his relational\, open\, organic worldview has taken shape in a myriad of unique ways.  It has been said that Process Theology is one of the most important movements in 21st Century American liberal theology\, in connection with liberation theology\, feminist theology\, eco-theology\, religious pluralism\, religion and science\, panpsychism\, panentheism\, postmodern\, and the list goes on. But process theology is not strictly a Christian or Western phenomena. There are religious followers from around the globe who find aspects of process thought illuminating for their own respective traditions. Muslim\, Jewish\, Hindu\, and other thinkers have infused their religiosity with process relational thinking in extremely fruitful ways. But where do we go from here? What will the future of process theology look like? \n\nThis conference seeks to explore these issues and more. It will address the fundamentals of process thought and explore the most promising directions for its future and potential impact in areas of theology\, religious discourse\, and beyond. \nWhether you come to Fairbanks or join us online\, please let us know that you’d like to participate.

SUMMARY:Process Summer Institute 2019
DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE PROCESS THEOLOGY WITH:\n\n\nTPS-3019  Being Human: Becoming the Best Bag of Bones You Can Be (Mon-Fri\, 9:00-11:00 AM)\nwith Donna Bowman\n\nCourse Description:\n\nThis course explores how Christian theology can address our rapidly changing paradigms of human existence. We will explore how process theology can contribute to our knowledge of the human self as gained through the sciences\, how a process theological perspective on humanity is useful in contemporary pluralistic and global settings\, as well as the theological significance to work and play. Also considered will be issues of gender\, sexuality\, creativity\, and human expression\, and how it is no longer possible to assign definitive meaning to categories like man and woman\, self and society\, freedom and determinism\, reason and feeling\, soul and body by reference to systems of narrative (including biblical narrative) and interpretation in which those ideas are taken for granted. The theology of human personhood begins with irreducible experiences both universal and particular and searches for functional understandings from the whole range of Christian and non-Christian ways of knowing. \nREAD SYLLABUS \nDonna Bowman is Professor of Honors Interdisciplinary Studies at the Norbert O. Schedler Honors College at the University of Central Arkansas. Her training in philosophical theology and religious studies has led to a scholarly career focused on process theology and Reformed theology\, especially the work of Alfred North Whitehead and Karl Barth. She has held several offices in regional and national scholarly organizations\, including the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Religion. This course will engage Bowman’s most recent book\, The Homebrewed Christianity Guide to Being Human: Becoming the Best Bag of Bones You Can Be. \n\n\nTPS-3024  Political Theology of the Earth: Process Cosmology and Apocalyptic Hope (Mon-Fri\, 1:00-3:00 PM)\nwith Catherine Keller\nCourse Description:\n\nAmid melting glaciers\, rising waters\, and spreading droughts\, Earth has ceased to tolerate our pretense of mastery over it. But how can we confront climate change when political crises keep exploding in the present? This course will invite us to read the feedback loop of political and ecological depredation as secularized apocalypse from a process perspective. If the politics of exceptionalism are theological in origin\, should we not enlist the world’s religious communities as part of the resistance? Might we consider dissolving the opposition between the religious and the secular in favor of a broad planetary movement for social and ecological justice? When we are confronted by populist\, authoritarian right wings founded on white male Christian supremacism\, can we counter with a messianically charged\, often unspoken theology of the now-moment\, calling for a complex new public? These are some of the questions we will engage during this course\, as we work to weave a process political theology of the earth which activates the world’s entangled populations\, joined in solidarity and committed to revolutionary solutions to the entwined crises of the Anthropocene. \nREAD SYLLABUS \nCatherine Keller is Professor of Constructive Theology at the Theological School of Drew University. In her teaching\, lecturing and writing\, she develops the relational potential of a theology of becoming. Her books reconfigure ancient symbols of divinity for the sake of a planetary conviviality—a life together\, across vast webs of difference. Thriving in the interplay of ecological and gender politics\, of process cosmology\, poststructuralist philosophy and religious pluralism\, her work is both deconstructive and constructive in strategy. This course will engage her most recent book\, Political Theology of the Earth and her forthcoming book Apocalypse After All?. \n\n\nTPS-3025  Christological Trajectories in Process (Mon-Fri\, 4:00-6:00 PM)\nwith Tripp Fuller\n\nCourse Description:\n\nWho was Jesus\, called the Christ? Christology is often considered the most important topic of Christian theology. The attitude of process theologians to Christology is quite varied. Putting the Christ back into Christian\, this course will be a survey and foray of Christological trajectories in process theology. From John Cobb\, to David Griffin\, and more\, we will explore the unique and varied process contributions on questions like: Is Jesus God? How was God incarnate in Jesus? What is the significance of Jesus for process Christians? \nREAD SYLLABUS \nTripp Fuller is the founder and cohost of Homebrewed Christianity\, the top theology podcast in the world. He’s also the coauthor of Transforming Christian Theology (Fortress Press\, 2009) and of The Homebrewed Christianity Guide to Jesus: Lord\, Liar\, Lunatic Or Awesome? (Fortress Press\, 2015)\, a sought-after conference speaker\, competitive home brewer\, minister\, and holds a PhD in Philosophy of Religion and Theology from Claremont Graduate University. He is also the self-proclaimed president of the John Cobb fan club where he holds the title of #FANiac in Chief. This course will engage Tripp’s forthcoming book on process theology and christology–i.e. Jesus study. \n\nLunchtime Round-Table Discussions: “Ask Dr. Cobb”\nwith John B. Cobb\, Jr.\n\nDescription:\nOver lunch hour\, whether you bring your own lunch or purchase the catered lunches through the registration page (see link below)\, we hope you will plan to join with other participants of the Summer Institute in engaging Dr. John Cobb in conversations on a variety of topics. On Monday\, Dr. Cobb is proposing the topic of “What the basileia theou was to Jesus\, ecological civilization is to us” and he invites you to bring your questions\, ideas\, and conversation topics to the table Tuesday through Friday. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to spend some time with one of the great thinkers of our time over a relaxing meal with others interested in Process Philosophy and Process Theology. \nJohn B. Cobb\, Jr. is an American theologian\, philosopher\, and environmentalist. Described by historian Gary Dorrien as one of the two most important North American theologians of the twentieth century\, Cobb is the preeminent scholar in the field of process philosophy and process theology\, and the author of more than fifty books. Two of his more recent titles are Jesus’ Abba: The God Who Has Not Failed and Theological Reminiscences. In 2014\, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Cobb is a founding co-director of the Center for Process Studies and Professor Emeritus of Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University. \n\n  \nJoin us in Claremont or Online!\n[maxbutton id=”1″ url=”https://processandfaith.org/product-category/2019-summer-institute/” text=”Non-Credit Registration” ] \n\n  \n\nFor Academic Credit:\n\nClasses may be taken for 1 semester unit of academic credit or 1 advanced course of study credit through Claremont School of Theology at the posted tuition rate.
