DESCRIPTION:Topic: How International Law Supports Citizens Seeking Global Solutions \n\n\n\nPresenters: Rebecca Shoot \n\n\n\nIn a world where so many conflicts are contested on the battlefield\, how can international law offer a better way? Rebecca A. Shoot is the Executive Director of Citizens for Global Solutions Education Fund\, which is Working for a Peaceful\, Free\, Just\, and Sustainable World Community.

Citizens for Global Solutions specific advocacy has been to try to ensure that international justice\, human rights\, and the rule of law are a respective and central element of this process and its outcome document\, the “Pact for the Future.” In doing so\, Rebecca Shoot was a penholder on the Peace and Security chapter of the companion “People’s Pact\,” which contains recommendations to enhance the international judicial architecture.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Faith & Feeling
DESCRIPTION:In theological circles\, German philosopher Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768–1834) may be best known for his text\, On Religion: Speeches to Its Cultured Despisers\, his effort to defend religion from Enlightenment skeptics. He’s also been a subject of interest to process thinkers like Philip Clayton\, Thandeka\, and\, more recently\, Chad Bahl. In his doctoral research\, Chad has been putting Schleirmacher’s thoughts on faith and feeling into conversation with the work of Alfred North Whitehead. \n\n\n\nHe has found that “In both process thought and Schleiermacher’s philosophy\, the essence of existence is not lifeless matter or dogmatic precepts. Rather\, it is lived experience. In this lived experience\, we are interconnected both as human beings and in fellowship with the Divine.” \n\n\n\nSchleiermacher is known for talking about faith as a feeling of “absolute dependence.” Resonant with Whitehead’s thinking about God’s aims for every actual event\, Chad describes this as a “natural result of being in tune with our deepest intuitions. It arises from our recognition of the presence and purpose of God in our lives.” As we cultivate our awareness of God – through spiritual practices like contemplation – this feeling naturally arises as a kind of “God-consciousness” that is “developed as we experience community with others\, fellowship with the Divine\, interaction with nature\, the Gospel story\, and much more.” \n\n\n\nWhile each of us may experience the Divine differently\, it is this “personal perception\, (not reason\, dogma\, or scientific proof)\, which serves as the centering principle for faith.” According to Chad\, attuning to this interior faith and feeling is crucial to human life. “We become fully actualized human beings when we realize fellowship with the Divine in our experiences of both Creator and creation.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith
