Introductions

Terry Goddard here.  I offer book discussions for both Cobb Institute and Process & Faith as most of you know.  I also offer lectures on religious topics at a life long learning center in Little Rock.  My wife and I volunteer at an elementary school's food pantry every Friday morning.  We also enjoy the state parks and rivers in Arkansas and visit 4 to 6 every year (while the weather is good.)  

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. 

I couldn't find the article by Walter Brueggemann about God, violence and recovery but here is a video where he summarises his thoughts on this subject. I'm afraid I have to disagree with his theology but it's fascinating. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl0hK3ZTVyc

I hope you all have a great Christmas! 

Peace and joy, 

Ricky 

Hi.  I'm Charlie Arnett.  I'm a retired software developer and live in Dallas, Tx, with my wife Susan.  For volunteer work, I teach chair yoga and mindfulness meditation to older adults 3 time a week.  I've attended many of Terry's book studies and have just completed the Certificate program.  I identify as a progressive Christian and attend a large Methodist church.

Thanks Charles, for launching a post to introduce ourselves.

I am a retired church educator, mostly for Catholic congregations, and six years for a United Methodist church. I am a book hound and would like to pass on stewardship of 60,000 books before I die. Sadly, they are "hidden under a bushel" in storage units. It has been difficult finding hosts to store them, much less sponsors to promote a collection. Here is my experiment to develop local reading culture: https://sites.google.com/view/livinglibraries/home

In graduate programs I acquired a taste for Bernard Lonergan SJ (1904-1984) and John Macmurray (1891-1976) And now, John B. Cobb Jr. (1925-2024). Just acquired his 1994 book Lay Theology which speaks to my career priorities.
