SUMMARY:Hidden Gems Learning Circle: Session 3
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.

SUMMARY:Spirit and the Movies February 16th
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: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. Go to the Future of Process Theology website\, find the RSVP section near the bottom of the page\, and fill it in. \nCan’t travel to Fairbanks?

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Process Summer Institute 2017
DESCRIPTION:The Process Theology Summer Institute is a 4-day (June 5-8\, 2017) intensive course designed to introduce basic issues in the theory and application of process theology. Broken down into three distinct parts with different course facilitators\, the Process Theology Institute can be taken as a single 3 credit course\, as individual 1 credit courses\, or without credit directly from Process & Faith. \nCourses: Join us in Claremont or Online!\nExploring Process Thought: Spiritual Terrorism\, Spiritual Liberation\nMonica A.
