SUMMARY:Special Event | Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Now\n  \nAre you feeling burned out\, bored\, or disillusioned with your faith or ministry? Do you long for a revitalized spirituality that speaks to both your heart and your head?\n  \nJoin us for this special event to hear from contributing authors to the new book from Process & Faith\, Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies. This unique book emerged from a conference P&F hosted in January of 2025 where we explored such themes as: \n  \n\n\n\nRenewing Faith – Can faith become life-giving again?\nRenewing God – What if God is deeply relational and always present?\nRenewing Jesus – How is Jesus still saving us today?\nRenewing Message – Can ancient texts still inspire transformation?\nRenewing Worship – What remains sacred and nourishing in our rituals?\nRenewing Spirit – How do practices of the Spirit bring healing and wholeness?\nRenewing Community – What does a renewing church or ministry look like?\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRenewing Faith is a bold and hopeful invitation to reimagine Christianity through the transformative lenses of process and open & relational theologies. Drawing on the rich insights of contemporary theology\, science\, and philosophy\, this book brings together voices of pastors\, theologians\, spiritual directors\, chaplains\, and seekers who are rediscovering the vitality and purpose of a living faith. \nWhether you identify as a progressive mainliner\, contemplative soul\, post-evangelical questioner\, or spiritual-but-not-religious wanderer\, you’ll find fresh pathways to reawaken your passion and deepen your connection to the Divine. \nSheri Kling\, editor of Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies\, will facilitate the discussion. Come and learn about this collection of essays of spiritual possibility—designed to equip and inspire Christian leaders\, seekers\, and communities to become not just renewed\, but renewing forces in a world that is crying out for wholeness and hope. \nBe part of a movement that is reimagining what it means to believe\, to lead\, and to love. The world needs your renewed faith. \n  \n\nFaith is renewed when we open our hearts and minds to the living Reality we call God and allow that Mystery to show us the truth\, even if that requires us to abandon inherited dogmas as new symbols emerge. \nSheri D. Kling\, editor\, Renewing Faith \n\n  \nAbout the Facilitator\n  \nSheri D. Kling\, PhD\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
