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. 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: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:John Cobb & Friends Gathering: Thandeka
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Untrolling America: What Trump Gets Right and Democrats Get Wrong About White America \n\n\n\nPresenter(s): Thandeka \n\n\n\nDonald Trump and the next generation of Trump politicians affirm what most white American voters feel: abused\, afraid\, outraged\, and neglected. And Trump politicians promise what these voters want: an end to their suffering. Presently\, most Democrats\, mainstream Republicans\, Black Americans\, liberals\, progressives\, and conservatives can’t parse the white suffering without distorting it and thus are clueless about how to end it. Thandeka calls the requisite new non-partisan work on white suffering  “Untrolling America” and will explain it in process terms\, advancing John Cobb’s interest in “process theology as political theology.” \n\n\n\nThandeka is the president and founder of  Love Beyond Belief™—a 501c3 education foundation designed to help clergy and laity\, activists and educators who use community-building processes to deepen connections that  heal and transform the world. To this end\, Love Beyond Belief™ offers workshops\, courses\, consultations\, educational resources and eventually certification programs that help persons practice the heart of compassion through small group spiritual practices that bolster and sustain their social justice and eco-justice work. Love Beyond Belief: Finding the Access Point to Spiritual Awareness (Polebridge Press\, MN\, 2018) is her constructive theological and neuroscientific framework for healing and transforming the world. In the foreword to this most recent book\, John Cobb wrote\, “Thandeka has written a book of rigorous scholarship\, brilliant original insight\, and great practical importance….Having read it\, I will never be able to think of my theological heritage in the same way again.”  \n\n\n\nThe name Thandeka\, which means “beloved” in Xhosa\, was given to her by Archbishop Desmond Tutu in 1984. Thandeka is the founder of Contemporary Affect Theology\, which investigates the links between religion and emotions using insights from affective neuroscience. Thandeka’s academic positions include a visiting scholar at the Center for Process Studies\, a fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center at Stanford University\, as well as positions at Harvard\, Brandeis\, and Andover Newton Theological School. Before receiving her PhD in philosophy of religion and theology from Claremont Graduate University\, she was an Emmy award-winning  television producer for 16 years. \n\n\n\nRead more about Thandeka at: https://revthandeka.org/. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation about how to access each gathering is made available via email.
