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

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: The Secular as Sacred: Taoism & Confucianism from the Perspective of Process Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:The cultural tradition of China is notorious for its secularism. There is no belief in God\, no special emphasis upon spirituality\, no expectation of eternal salvation. All the teachings of Taoism and Confucianism seem to be nothing more than ethical admonition focusing on secular benefits. Nevertheless\, China’s civilization has persisted for more than 3000 years and seems even more compelling in our time.   \n\n\n\nIn this event\, Dr. Zhenbao Jin wishes to decode the secrets of Taoism and Confucianism from the perspective of his special experience of healing himself from lymphoma cancer and other chronic health problems\, as well as his related research in the past 10 years. He will discuss the cosmology of Taoism and Confucianism from the perspective of process philosophy and meditation as the way to embody such a cosmology. He will show how Taoism and Confucianism are more a developing scholarship than a close system of belief\, due to their non-dualistic cosmology. \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following:

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: The Diabolical Trinity
DESCRIPTION:In this Pop-Up\, Dr. Mark Karris will guide us through research on why individuals are distancing from or leaving the church and discuss the differences between spiritual abuse\, religious trauma\, religious disorientation growth syndrome\, and adverse religious experiences. We’ll also delve into the religious trauma caused by Hell indoctrination: the unholy trinity of traumatizing beliefs in a tormenting Hell\, a wrathful God\, and human depravity. Lastly\, we’ll explore the impact of these beliefs and coping strategies\, and describe healing interventions for those with religious trauma. \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following:

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Attuning with Things: The Mind According to Nishitani Keiji
DESCRIPTION:We are not our brains and brains are not computers. The mind is much more than computations. As more than a few authors acknowledge today in the philosophy of mind\, the notion that the mind is a computer fails because it makes us ignore the relevance of the body for our mental lives. Yet\, we need to go even further: tiles and stones\, rivers and valleys\, all things participate in the making of an individual mind. Regarding the problem of how we can ever hope to know anything about the world\, we should not ask how we can get in contact with things: we already are essentially connected with them. The question is\, rather\, how we can attune with them so that they can show their real being. \n\n\n\nThis is the approach presupposed by the Japanese philosopher Nishitani Keiji (1900-1990)\, one of the main representatives of the Kyoto School. Even though the mind was not explicitly among his main topics of interest\, Carlos Barbosa Cepeda believes that we can learn much about the way that Keiji touches upon the topic in his works. Keiji argues that we get to know a certain fact due to the mutual projection of mind and fact. This notion can help us to achieve a vivid (i.e. not merely theoretical/discursive) understanding of who we are\, and it can also help us to regain our confidence that we can get to know reality even if we are not professional scientists.  \n\n\n\nIn this Pop-Up\, Kyoto School scholar Carlos Barbosa Cepeda will explore Nishitani Keiji’s philosophy of mind\, showing how ideas from the Japanese philosopher help us move beyond metaphors of the mind as a computer and achieve a more vivid understanding of who we are. \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following:

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Deconstructing Hell
DESCRIPTION:Would a loving God sentence anyone to eternal torment? Chad Bahl and other open and relational thinkers say no in their new book Deconstructing Hell: Open and Relational Responses to the Doctrine of Eternal Conscious Torment. In this online event\, we’ll explore why Chad and his fellow authors argue that perhaps no modern church dogma has been more destructive to the mission of Jesus\, created more atheists\, or generated more religious trauma than that of eternal conscious torment (ECT) for the non-believer.  \n\n\n\nChad\, a doctoral student of Thomas Jay Oord\, will highlight the very good reasons to deconstruct what many see as a harmful doctrine and introduce more constructive and healing approaches to understanding ‘final judgment.’ \n\n\n\nRSVP required to receive ZOOM info. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following:

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Process Mysticism
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from his latest book\, Process Mysticism\, Dan Dombrowski will offer a process philosophical approach to mysticism or religious experience. “Mysticism” can refer to either direct experience of God or the claim that such experience is ineffable and both senses of the term will be analyzed. In this Pop-Up\, Dan will use the process philosophies of Charles Hartshorne\, Alfred North Whitehead\, and Henri Bergson to explore this subject. His aim is not so much to demonstrate that such experiences are true or veridical as it is to understand\, in a William Jamesian fashion\, how they could be possible and not contradict the concept of God held by philosophers and theologians.  \n\n\n\nDan’s presentation will touch on divine world-inclusiveness\, ideal power and tragedy\, the ontological argument\, asceticism and the via negativa\, divine visions and voices\, and the aesthetics and ethics of mysticism. With an ecumenical approach\, Dan will attempt to illuminate mystical experiences as they occur around the world in different religious traditions\, while claiming familiarity only with the Abrahamic religions. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following:

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: The Tao Flows on Like a River Forever
DESCRIPTION:Dating back in the Chinese oral tradition to the 11th Century BCE and now read by Westerners since the mid-1800s when Western-language translations were first available\, the Tao in the Tao Te Ching is described as an endless source of novelty\, ever flowing forward\, yet always favoring the good. These depictions of the Tao resemble many of Alfred North Whitehead’s dynamic concepts\, such as concrescence\, process\, living immediacy\, and the inter-relatedness of contrasts. In this Pop-Up event\, Dr. Rosemarie Anderson will provide examples of verses from her own translation of the Tao Te Ching\, suggestive of the intimacy between the Tao Te Ching and Whitehead’s philosophy of organism and why modern Chinese are now attracted to process philosophy. \n\n\n\n\nFind Out More & Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following:

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: Balancing Eight Spiritual Tensions
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Jared Morningstar\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin an interactive Pop-Up event where we will explore four pairs of religious and spiritual dispositions which are in tension with one another. Participants will explore the feelings that come up with each of the perspectives\, and try to find ways to see richness in both sides of the tensions\, rather than just rejecting one side and restricting one’s perspective. Together we will consider how we can hold these tensions with grace so as to not lose the organic dynamism of authentic spirituality. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the following\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind Out More & Register

SUMMARY:Process Pop-up: The Deeper Roots of Mass Shootings
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Sheri Kling\, PhD\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin a dynamic discussion on the deeper roots of mass shootings\, inspired by process scholar Sheri Kling’s recent piece on the Cobb Institute blog Process in Praxis titled “Are Fragmentation\, Trauma\, and Demoralization at the Root of Mass Shootings?” \n\n\n\n“Rather than just arguing about whether the problem stems from the individuals or the guns\, I’d like to suggest that the roots may lie even deeper. And until we are willing to follow the threads all the way down\, we will never find a way out of the crisis of mass shootings. I strongly believe that the roots of this problem are cultural fragmentation\, an epidemic of trauma\, and widespread demoralization. In other words\, we are living in a sick society that is producing mass shootings out of its sickness.” \n\n\n\nSponsored by Process & Faith and the Cobb Institute. \n\n\n\nTo find out more and receive Zoom info… \n\n\n\n\nRSVP at Process & Faith

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Can a Christian be a Buddhist\, too?
DESCRIPTION:What is a Process Pop-Up?\n\n\n\nProcess pop-ups are hour-long\, informal gatherings that “pop up” occasionally\, and are available to interested and curious minds.  They are exploratory and open-ended\, like process philosophy itself. Their subjects range from poetry to science\, theology to ecology\, music to biology. They are facilitated by Jay McDaniel and sponsored by the Cobb Institute. \n\n\n\nWhat is this Pop-Up about?\n\n\n\nOur question is: Can a Christian be a Buddhist\, Too? Process thought offers a unique way of understanding and appreciating Buddhist insights concerning impermanence\, the primacy of the moment\, inter-becoming\, no-self\, the listening side of love\, and the importance of mindfulness\, while also understanding and appreciating Christian understandings of God in Christ as a bodhisattva-like Great Compassion who loves each and all with a tender care that nothing be lost\, and the life of discipleship as one of practicing the presence of God in daily life. In this hour we will explore the possibility that\, with help from process theology\, a Christian can indeed be a Buddhist\, too. Our springboard for discussion and frame of reference will be Can a Christian be a Buddhist\, Too? on Open Horizons. \n\n\n\nWhen is this Pop-Up\n\n\n\nOctober 27th at 3:00 PM Pacific / 5:00 PM Central \n\n\n\nResources to Consider\n\n\n\nCan a Christian be a Buddhist\, Too?\, article on Open Horizons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuddhism can help Christians become better Christians by helping them become better listeners\, more sensitive to the mutual becoming of all things\, more open to fresh possibilities (initial aims) for wisdom\, compassion\, and creativity in daily life. Yes\, Christians can be Buddhists\, too. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to receive Zoom meeting information.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Olson and Whitehead
DESCRIPTION:What is a Process Pop-Up?\n\n\n\nProcess pop-ups are hour-long\, informal gatherings that “pop up” occasionally\, and are available to interested and curious minds.  They are exploratory and open-ended\, like process philosophy itself. Their subjects range from poetry to science\, theology to ecology\, music to biology. They are facilitated by Jay McDaniel and sponsored by the Cobb Institute. \n\n\n\nWhat is this Pop-Up about?\n\n\n\nOur theme is process and poetry though the lens of an essay on the the New England poet Charles Olson (1910-1970). He was a key member of the Black Mountain School of American Poetry (1933-1956) also one of the most philosophical poets of his generation. Olson’s poetry is heavily influenced by the process metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead. Another poet\, Robin Blaser\, describes the influence of Whitehead on Olson in his essay: The Violets: Charles Olson and Alfred North Whitehead  (1983). This process pop-up is an informal exploration of Blaser’s essay\, found on the link above and also on this page in Open Horizons: Turning Process into Poetry: Charles Olson. \n\n\n\nWhen is this Pop-Up\n\n\n\nOctober 6th and October 13th at 3:00 PM Pacific / 5:00 PM Central \n\n\n\nResources to Consider\n\n\n\nTurning Process Into Poetry\, an article on Open Horizons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWriting poetry is not simply a personal act: it is cosmological act.  It is a moment-by- moment process of concrescence\, inspired by breath itself\, not by rules of meter and rhyme\, with the outcome\, the poem\, a gift to the world\, which is likewise in process\, and which furthers the creative advance into novelty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to receive Zoom meeting information.

SUMMARY:Process Pop-Up: Olson and Whitehead
DESCRIPTION:What is a Process Pop-Up?\n\n\n\nProcess pop-ups are hour-long\, informal gatherings that “pop up” occasionally\, and are available to interested and curious minds.  They are exploratory and open-ended\, like process philosophy itself. Their subjects range from poetry to science\, theology to ecology\, music to biology. They are facilitated by Jay McDaniel and sponsored by the Cobb Institute. \n\n\n\nWhat is this Pop-Up about?\n\n\n\nOur theme is process and poetry though the lens of an essay on the the New England poet Charles Olson (1910-1970). He was a key member of the Black Mountain School of American Poetry (1933-1956) also one of the most philosophical poets of his generation. Olson’s poetry is heavily influenced by the process metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead. Another poet\, Robin Blaser\, describes the influence of Whitehead on Olson in his essay: The Violets: Charles Olson and Alfred North Whitehead  (1983). This process pop-up is an informal exploration of Blaser’s essay\, found on the link above and also on this page in Open Horizons: Turning Process into Poetry: Charles Olson. \n\n\n\nWhen is this Pop-Up\n\n\n\nOctober 6th and October 13th at 3:00 PM Pacific / 5:00 PM Central \n\n\n\nResources to Consider\n\n\n\nTurning Process Into Poetry\, an article on Open Horizons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWriting poetry is not simply a personal act: it is cosmological act.  It is a moment-by- moment process of concrescence\, inspired by breath itself\, not by rules of meter and rhyme\, with the outcome\, the poem\, a gift to the world\, which is likewise in process\, and which furthers the creative advance into novelty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to receive Zoom meeting information.
