SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Sheri Kling and Doug King
DESCRIPTION:Topic: The Biblical Narrative and Universal God Identity \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Sheri D. Kling and Doug King \n\n\n\nSheri D. Kling\, director of Process & Faith and the John Cobb Legacy Fund\, is working on an exciting project with Doug King\, CEO of Presence International\, a growing network that engages emergent\, integral\, and interspiritual organizations and idea leaders to facilitate a “global conversation for a new earth.” Sheri and Doug are offering a course called “The Biblical Narrative and Universal God Identity: Integral Theology and Process Approaches\,” co-sponsored by Process & Faith and the Cobb Institute. The course will be on Zoom\, begins September 13\, and will run for six consecutive Tuesdays at 4:30pm Pacific/7:30pm Eastern. \n\n\n\nDoug King is steeped in biblical scholarship and worked alongside his father\, Max King\, to develop Presence to offer events\, a podcast\, and other teaching resources. He uses Spiral Dynamics (a developmental model of human consciousness that considers Alfred North Whitehead one of its forerunners) to approach the biblical narrative\, and has developed what he calls “integral theology.” In their discussion with John Cobb & Friends\, Sheri and Doug will provide a brief overview of the exciting material they plan to cover in their upcoming course. \n\n\n\nFrom their perspectives\, both process thought and integral consciousness provide a developmental approach to the evolution of human consciousness. Process philosophy and theology have been used as life-giving tools in interpretation of the biblical narrative and in their teaching together\, Sheri and Doug will investigate the use of integral consciousness models as complementary to biblical interpretation as well. Their primary question will be whether the biblical narrative has always been evolving toward and into universal God identity. The implications of the possible answers to that question can dramatically affect the future of long held Christian views of identity. This is especially true if the biblical narrative points to something beyond separation thinking with regard to identity. For our gathering\, they will introduce the use of models like Spiral Dynamics to trace biblical history\, finding meaning both in its original setting and as a process story of the evolution of spiritual consciousness with regard to God identity. \n\n\n\nTo learn more about Doug King’s organization and its work\, visit https://www.presence.tv/. From there you can explore videos and the Presence podcast (available on iTunes and other podcast platforms). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email. To find out about a single meeting\, send an email to events@cobb.institute. If you would like to receive regular meeting announcements and updates about the Institute\, please join our list of Friends. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it to the live session?

SUMMARY:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Pauline Doty
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Bringing Hope to Our Future \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Pauline Doty \n\n\n\nSince taking her first classes and practicums in pastoral care and counseling fifty years ago\, Pauline’s ministry has supported individuals and families as they deal with mental illness\, trauma\, loss\, and broken relationships. With the National Alliance on Mental Illness for 12 years\, she has provided leadership\, peer education\, and facilitation of weekly support groups. \n\n\n\nQuestions of faith about God and evil\, God and suffering\, confronted Pauline as a teen. She was raised in the Church of God (Anderson\, IN) and attended church often – Sunday morning\, Sunday evening\, and many Wednesday evenings. Her Dad coached his children in memorizing many chapters in the Bible. Her mother suffered with untreated depression and often wasn’t feeling well. Too often Pauline had very painful and angry encounters with her father. She was seriously seeking to follow Jesus\, and to surrender to God’s will for her life. During high school she had the support and gifts of a woman pastor who loved her\, and a caring church family. However\, at age 20 and a sophomore in college\, she suffered a mental breakdown with serious mental illness crisis. Acute schizophrenic episode was the initial diagnosis. \n\n\n\nWhen Pauline returned to campus after hospitalization and some months away\, she took courses in philosophy and theology. Learning about Whitehead and process philosophy with Delwin Brown\, along with a supportive community and psychotherapy\, enabled growth in her Christian faith perspective\, moving her to affirm a radical message of God’s redeeming love. No more sheep and goats to be separated at judgment day. All are sheep – beloved children of God! Just some are more seriously wounded “children” and needing more caring and healing relationships. \n\n\n\nPauline completed graduate degrees at Chicago Theological Seminary and Columbia Theological Seminary. In 1987 she completed her thesis: Responding to Persons in Despair: A Process Theology of Hope for Pastoral Care and Counseling. In Echoes of Mercy\, Whispers of Love: My Journey and A Theology of Hope (AuthorHouse 2010)\, and From Despair Into Healing: Workbook for Spiritual Change (AuthorHouse 2022)\, Pauline shares her process theology of hope as a framework for counseling despairing persons. Her faith perspective informs her spiritual care with persons on the healing and recovery journey. She believes this faith perspective can crucially enable resiliency when illness\, tragedy\, and loss strike again. Of her first book\, John Cobb has written\, \n\n\n\n“I am impressed by the sensitivity of her presentation of the ideas of Whitehead and others in his ‘process’ tradition. She represents this position with scholarly accuracy but also with literary skill and personal appropriation. Hence her work is of value not only to scholars but also more widely to a lay audience.”\n\n\n\nWith the rising numbers of children\, teens\, and adults experiencing serious depression and mental health issues\, including suicide attempts and suicide\, churches\, faith groups and communities are challenged to find answers and meaningful ways to “keep hope alive.” Pauline will share key themes from her Process Theology of Hope that were very important for her own recovery and healing and have informed and supported all of her pastoral care and counseling ministry. These themes are important for her in support groups\, coaching\, book events\, and workshops. She welcomes dialogue as we share together on August 9. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email. To find out about a single meeting\, send an email to events@cobb.institute.

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
