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.
@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.

This makes me think of a key tenet of Quaker theology, that we each have "that of God" within us. (I personally like to talk about the Seed of God but that is not common practice.) If we each have a piece of God within us, might that be the source of our creativity? I have found that when I am diligent in my spiritual practice and I feel closer to God, then I get insights into problems or ideas about things to do that are beyond what I was thinking before.
