Jeff Wells, Vikki Randall, and Nichole Torbitzky will join us for a conversation about their new book Preaching the Uncontrolling Love of God: Sermons, Essays, and Worship Elements from the Perspective of Open, Relational, and Process Theology.
Hosted by Bethlehem Centre in collaborative partnership with the Interfaith Center of Arkansas, the Cobb Institute and Process & Faith, “Poetry for the Journey” is a six week online series that will provide an inclusive environment for individuals from different religious traditions and spiritual independents to come together to share and discuss poetry.
This event will gather a panel of speakers who have been using new media to talk about and experience faith online. We’ll find out how this has impacted them and their listeners as we open our minds to new ways of being faithful.
In a world that Whitehead described as one of “perpetual perishing,” grief must certainly be a universal human experience. In this event, Jonathan Foster will read excerpts from his book, indigo: the color of grief and chaplain Kathleen Reeves will respond, sharing thoughts and tools on our movement through grief.
In this pop-up, William Wilding and Matt Segall will explore the lack of philosophy in general and process philosophy in particular in design. In so doing, they ask what design is, why techno-rationalism continues to dominate it, and how process relational thinkers can reshape design science and education.
In this event, Dr. Case-Winters will explore these themes as well as the provoking questions that arise with our affirmation that “God is with us.” How can we believe “God is with us” when there is so much suffering and evil in the world? When we make this affirmation what do we mean by “us”? Do we mean “just us Christians”?
In this pop-up, Leslie King will introduce simple chair yoga movements or asanas and each participant will learn more about their range of movement and how yogic practices best make sense for the body.
In this pop-up, Evaggelos Vallianatos will offer an introduction to the history and dangers of climate change, and argue that we need to heed the call of Pope Francis to organize a movement of resistance and change to the ceaseless use of fossil fuels causing global warming.
If capitalism doesn’t work for people and the environment, what does work? Capital itself may not be the problem, but only in the way it is regulated. In this process pop-up a different approach to capital, following Herman Daly, John Cobb, and several related thinkers, is played out in the practical workings of an imaginary community. Is such a community feasible, and who would want to become a member? Kent Myers will explore these questions and present a new economic vision for ecological civilization.
In this event, LoPresti will share key ideas from his book to describe a “meta-theology” of world religions, arguing that both Western and non-Western traditions are helpful. He’ll draw from John B. Cobb’s Whiteheadian “deep religious pluralism” as well as South Asian philosophy, Western analytic philosophy, and the writings of Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI).
