When I learned about process theology, I read Margery Suchocki, who included creativity as part of her work. Here's a piece she wrote about it.

Karen, isn't it?  At any rate this is a good interview with Margery, thanks.

For anybody to reply.  How does she or does she differ in her view of creativity from Kaufman?

@terry Seems like she uses the term both like and unlike Kaufman.  Like him, she talks of evolution of the human race as creativity in section 12.  In the case for Kaufman, creativity=God.  But in section 8 creativity is not God, but comes from God (and from us).

@arnettcflash-net yes one key difference with Kaufman is in where creativity comes from. 

During Monday’s session one of the talks on Eck was about similarities to icons.

I found it very interesting that Hindus attend service to see who they worship. 
Reminds me of Mass where attendees look up and see Jesus when the priest raises the chalice and bread. Catholics and Orthodox pray for long periods in communion with the Eucharist, icons, etc. throughout the Church especially during the holidays. For example, seeing Jesus at each Station along the Way of the Cross before the Priest covers all of the images of Jesus, crucifix, etc. on Good Friday. Then, unveiling everything on Easter Sunday to see the resurrected Lord.

@omniprincess Lots of parallels with Christian practice.  Your mention of the stations of the cross is like Eck's statement on p. 41 that the the images are also visual scriptures: they tell a story.
