SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Made by Love\, For Love: Reimagining God\, Power\, and Faith
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Now\nWhat if the Christian story was never about earning God’s love or escaping this world—but about Love evolving the cosmos from the inside out?\nIn his new book\, Made by Love\, for Love\, author Michael M. Rose invites readers to reimagine Christianity—not as a drama of sin and obligatory appeasing sacrifice\, but as a cosmic love story still unfolding. Far from cracking under the weight of an expanding universe\, the gospel becomes more radiant\, more necessary\, and more astonishing than ever. \nDrawing from the evolutionary vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and the Open and Relational theology of Thomas Jay Oord\, Rose’s work reveals a God whose very nature is Love—noncoercive\, relational\, persistent\, and ripe with creative potential. \n\n\nFor the spiritually disillusioned\, the deconstructing\, and anyone wondering whether Christianity can still be good news\, Made by Love\, for Love offers a vision of faith big enough for the cosmos and personal enough for our deepest wounds. In this Process Pop-Up\, Rose will introduce his project and invite conversation. \n  \n\n“Love is not the reward for getting it right.It is the context in which we learn to live.“ \nMichael M. Rose\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n  \nMichael M. Rose\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael M. Rose is a spiritual director\, grief specialist\, and theologian with three decades of experience accompanying people through faith\, loss\, and transformation. His work explores evolving faith through the lens of Open and Relational Theology and the evolutionary vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. He is the author of Becoming Love and Made by Love\, For Love\, and lives in Alberta\, Canada\, where he supports individuals and communities in seasons of spiritual reimagining. \n\n\n \n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat and receive the Zoom information\, click the Going button and enter your name and email. \n\n\nDisclaimer: This event is open to the public and will be recorded.

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

SUMMARY:Readings on Faiths: Heaven and Hell
DESCRIPTION:A Book Group Exploring the Diversity of Religion \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. The only prerequisite needed for this group is a desire to learn more about the world’s religious traditions. \nOur next book is Heaven and Hell: A History of the Afterlife\, by Bart D. Ehrman. Ehrman is a leading authority on the New Testament and early Christianity. He is recently retired from the University of North Carolina.  In this book he discusses the origins of ideas surrounding what happens after death. Demonstrating that ideas of heaven and hell / punishments and rewards appear nowhere in the Old Testament and they were not taught by Jesus or his earliest followers. So\, Ehrman takes us on a trip further back in human history to discover the origins of afterlife. One discovery he makes is that there never was a single understanding of the afterlife\, but rather numerous competing ideas. Fear of death is central to many folks’ thoughts of the afterlife. But why? \n\nLEARN MORE & ENROLL
