SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends: Relational Abrahamic Faiths
DESCRIPTION:Several locations around the world have taken concrete steps toward interreligious understanding and relationship by creating communities of faith that house all three Abrahamic traditions: Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam. The House of One in Berlin\, Germany and the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi are two such communities. Each has its own unique way of approaching its mission. \nSeeking to learn more\, Sheri Kling\, director of Process & Faith\, reached out to invite a representative from each community to join her in this presentation to the Cobb & Friends gathering. Rabbi David Rosen and Imam Osman Örs readily agreed. They’ll share highlights and images from their communities and discuss the joys and challenges they’ve experienced. Dr. Kling will facilitate the conversation. \nSpeakers\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRabbi David Rosen serves as Special Interfaith Advisor to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi. Rosen has been advancing understanding and good relations between religious communities for more than forty years – from the time he served as rabbi of the largest Orthodox Jewish congregation in South Africa\, during his tenure as Chief Rabbi of Ireland; and throughout the last more than thirty years based in Jerusalem. In addition to interreligious representation and education\, his work involves mediation and peace building and he is heavily involved in multi-religious engagement on ecological issues. Among the various awards and recognition he has received\, Rabbi Rosen was granted a papal Knighthood in 2005 for his contribution to Jewish-Catholic reconciliation and in 2010 he was made a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II for his work promoting interfaith understanding and cooperation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImam Osman Örs holds a Masters Degree (M.A.) in Islamic Sciences\, Education\, and Anglistics from George-August University in Göttingen\, Germany. Since 2015\, he has worked as a theological advisor and imam at the House of One Foundation in Berlin. He also collaborates with Demokratie Leben in combating antisemitism and racism\, conducts educational workshops\, and addresses theological and liturgical aspects of interreligious unity at the House of One. In addition to his work at the House of One\, Osman Örs is involved in various community roles. He has been a member of the coordinating committee of the Berlin Forum of Religions since 2016 and is a charter member of the Council of Imams of Berlin since 2021.

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends: A Season of Darkness and Light
DESCRIPTION:Cosmologically\, this period of late fall marks the increase in hours of darkness until the winter solstice when the hours of light begin to make a return. Many religions have major holidays during this period. For some\, the period of darkness is not feared but is celebrated as a time of rest and renewal or of waiting in a kind of pregnant pause. Most celebrate the increase in light and see this turning of the season as the welcome return of the energies of rebirth and growth. \nIn this Cobb & Friends gathering\, Dr. Sheri Kling\, director of Process & Faith\, will introduce some of the major holidays in late fall and early winter\, noting their significance in each tradition. We’ll look at Diwali\, Advent\, Hanukkah\, St. Lucia Day\, Winter Solstice\, Christmas\, Epiphany\, Kwanzaa\, New Year’s Eve\, and Lunar New Year. \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSheri D.

SUMMARY:Buddhist Process Explorations
DESCRIPTION:A Discussion Group About the Exploring\, Sharing\, and Practice of Buddhist Process-Relational Thought \n\n\n\nAt face value\, the Buddha’s Dharma and Whitehead’s Process Philosophy seem to characterize reality in very different ways\, and for different reasons. The Buddha taught that reality as we typically experience it is an impermanent\, selfless and dissatisfying process of cyclic becoming continuously powered by compulsive attachment and aversion grounded in delusion. The Buddha prescribed various methods we could deploy in order to go beyond this painful and immiserated condition\, methods which involve thorough analysis and deconstruction of our habituated and self-limiting assumptions about ourselves and the world as well as means of cultivating more purified states of awareness and embodiment so that we can awaken to the way things really are and unleash our core potential. \nWhitehead elaborated a systematic philosophical scheme\, replete with foundational metaphysical categories\, that reconstructs reality as a cumulative process of concrescence whereby many diverse feelings creatively synthesize into a novel experience\, aiming towards satisfaction and lured to completion through divine persuasion. For Whitehead\, many of the issues in philosophy and society at large could be traced to various fallacious conceptions concerning nature\, language\, and experience which he sought to rectify with his panexperiential\, process-relational Philosophy of Organism. \n  \nLEARN MORE & ENROLL
