Topic: Is God in Control? A Pastoral Appreciation of the Process Understanding of God.

Presenters: Barkley Thompson

 A sermon by his former student caught the attention of Jay McDaniel, who posted a portion of the Rev. Barkley Thompson’s sermon, affirming the pastoral wisdom in a process understanding of God. See the sermonic moment, asking “Is God in Control?” on the Open Horizons website here. After a decade as dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Houston, Texas, the Rev. Thompson has returned to his home state of Arkansas, where he is now rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Little Rock. Come prepared to join selected respondents in reacting to this pastor’s message to help folks through real grief. Barkley Thompson recommends this website as an introduction to his ministry, which includes authoring several professional articles and three books. The publication date for his most recent book, How Can We Know The Way?: Reflections on Belief, Salvation and Eternal Life, is August 22, 2023.
