SUMMARY:Rethinking Process Theology and Religious Pluralism Through the Lens of Divine Omnipresence
DESCRIPTION:In this five-session course\, students will explore the question of religious pluralism and consider what difference a process understanding of divine omnipresence and the centrality of compassion in all major religions can make to how one develops a Christian theology.  \n\n\n\n“All faiths insist that compassion is the test of true spirituality and that it brings us into relation with the transcendence we call God\, Brahman\, Nirvana\, or Dao. Each has formulated its own version of what is sometimes called the Golden Rule\, ‘Do not treat others as you would not like them to treat you\,’ or in its positive form\, ‘Always treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself.’ Further\, they all insist that you cannot confine your benevolence to your own group; you must have concern for everybody — even your enemies.” –Karen Armstrong  \n\n\n\nIn 2001\, Marjorie Suchocki wrote Divinity and Diversity\, which explored the implications for religious pluralism within various Christian doctrines. In this course\, more than twenty years later\, she tackles the issue again\, this time working from and focusing on a process understanding of divine omnipresence. The central question of this study will thus be the following: What are the theological and practical implications of interpreting religions through the lens of divine omnipresence? The first and foremost suggestion is the near-universal importance of compassion as an essential element of religion. Each session will conclude with a consideration of the role that compassion plays in one of the world’s great religious traditions. \n\n\n\nIf you’re in the Claremont area please join us in person. If not join us online via Zoom. All are welcome\, and will be able to fully participate! \n\n\n\n\nSIGN UP
