SUMMARY:Dreaming an Ecological Civilization
DESCRIPTION:An Exploration of Spirituality in Action\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an exploration of different paths toward common goal. We face climate change\, massive species extinction\, melting of the polar ice caps\, increasingly severe weather\, violence\, economic inequality\, political repression\, and the debilitating effects of consumer culture. We are learning about the interconnectedness of everything on our planet and how our actions affect the entire earth. At the same tine we are learning about our embededness in\, and responsibilities to\, the local communities where we live. We find ourselves. hoping for\, and wanting to work toward\, a world of nurturing communities that are good for people\, animals\, and the earth. A world of beloved communities. How might religious and spiritual leaders help us realize this hope? What visions are needed? What forms of religious experience are needed? How did we get so off track in the first place? We will hear two different voices on this topic and how we can take different paths to arrive at the same destination: Love for our planet. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar with John Cobb & Matthew Fox \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew Fox is a spiritual theologian\, an Episcopal priest and an activist for gender justice and eco-justice. He has written 37 books that have been translated into other languages over 70 times. Among them are Original Blessing\, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ\, A Spirituality Named Compassion\, The Reinvention of Work\, The Hidden Spirituality of Men\, Christian Mystics and The Pope’s War. He has contributed much to the rediscovery of Hildegard of Bingen\, Meister Eckhart and Thomas Aquinas as pre-modern mystics and prophets. Fox holds a doctorate in the history and theology of spirituality from the Institut Catholique de Paris. The founder of the University of Creation Spirituality in California\, he conducts dozens of workshops each year and is a visiting scholar at the Academy for the Love of Learning. \n\n\n\nIn joining the Episcopal church over 20 years ago\, Fox has been working with young people to reinvent forms of worship by bringing elements of rave such as dance\, dj\, vj and more into the Western Liturgy. The Cosmic Mass has been celebrated over 100 times and in dozens of cities in North America. \n\n\n\nFox is recipient of the Abbey Courage of Conscience Peace Award (other recipients being the Dali Lama\, Mother Teresa\, Ernesto Cardenal and Rosa Parks)\, the Ghandi King Ikeda Award\, the Tikkun National Ethics Award and other awards. \n\n\n\nMore recently Fox\, along with Skylar Wilson and Jennifer Listug\, launched a new vision in the Order of the Sacred Earth: both a book and a new spiritual order. The OSE is a community and movement of people of varied belief systems (or non-belief systems) who share one sacred vow: “I promise to be the best lover and defender of the Earth that I can be.” \n\n\n\nHis latest books are Naming the Unnameable: 89 Wonderful and Useful Names for God…Including the Unnameable God; Stations of the Cosmic Christ; and The Lotus & the Rose: A Conversation Between Tibetan Buddhism & Mystical Christianity. He is currently a visiting scholar at the Academy of the Love of Learning in Santa Fe\, NM and resides in Vallejo\, California. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn B. Cobb\, Jr.  is an American theologian\, philosopher\, and environmentalist. Cobb is often regarded as the preeminent scholar in the field of process philosophy and process theology\, the school of thought associated with the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. Cobb is the author of more than fifty books. In 2014\, Cobb was elected to the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences. \n\n\n\nA unifying theme of Cobb’s work is his emphasis on ecological interdependence—the idea that every part of the ecosystem is reliant on all the other parts. Cobb has argued that humanity’s most urgent task is to preserve the world on which it lives and depends\, an idea which his primary influence\, Whitehead\, described as “world-loyalty”. \n\n\n\nCobb is well known for his transdisciplinary approach\, integrating insights from many different areas of study and bringing different specialized disciplines into fruitful communication. Because of his broad-minded interest and approach\, Cobb has been influential in a wide range of disciplines\, including theology\, ecology\, economics\, biology\, and social ethics. \n\n\n\nIn 1971\, he wrote the first single-author book in environmental ethics\, Is It Too Late? A Theology of Ecology\, which argued for the relevance of religious thought in approaching the ecological crisis.[8] In 1989\, he co-authored the book For the Common Good: Redirecting the Economy Toward Community\, Environment\, and a Sustainable Future\, which critiqued current global economic practice and advocated for a sustainable\, ecology-based economics. He has written extensively on religious pluralism and interfaith dialogue\, particularly between Buddhism and Christianity\, as well as the need to reconcile religion and science. \n\n\n\nCobb is the co-founder and current co-director of the Center for Process Studies in Claremont\, California. The Center for Process Studies remains the leading Whitehead-related institute and has witnessed the launch of more than thirty related centers at academic institutions throughout the world\, including twenty-three centers in China. Most recently the Cobb Institute was founded in 2019 with the mission to bring process philosophy to local communities by engaging in local initiatives and cultivating compassionate communities to help build an ecological civilization. John B. Cobb Jr.is the author of over 30 books on process theology and ecological civilization. His latest book is titled Salvation is available September 2020. \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease RSVP to assist us with planning.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored byThe Center for Spirituality at Ontario&The Cobb Institute

SUMMARY:Authoritarianism and the Need for a Nurturant Christianity
DESCRIPTION:How\, in this political season\, can Christians and others be so divided? How can some believe that genuine Christianity is about “authority\, law and order” and others that it is about “nurturing love”? John Cobb and John Sanders are on the side of nurturing love. They believe the God in whom Jesus placed his trust was a God of inclusion\, generosity\, forgiveness\, and empathy. Their hope is that a Christianity can emerge that has nurturance as its living breath\, and that expresses this nurturance in care for human beings\, especially the poor and powerless\, and respect for the more than human world. And yet they realize that there are many forces working against such nurturance\, including among authority-preoccupied Christians. In this conversation\, sponsored by the Cobb Institute\, they share their perspectives and discuss their hopes for a nurturant Christianity. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar with John Cobb & John Sanders \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn B. Cobb\, Jr. taught theology at the Claremont School of Theology from 1958 to 1990. He is the co-founder and current co-director of the Center for Process Studies in Claremont\, California. The Center for Process Studies remains the leading Whitehead-related institute and has witnessed the launch of more than thirty related centers at academic institutions throughout the world\, including twenty-three centers in China. He is the author of over 30 books on process theology and ecological civilization. In 2019\, he founded the Claremont Institute for Process Studies\, with the mission to promote process philosophy by engaging in local initiatives and cultivating compassionate communities to help build an ecological civilization. The Institute was renamed in his honor in February 2020. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Sanders is an American theologian who has authored and edited ten books as well as over three dozen articles and book chapters. He has a doctorate in theology\, spent a year as the Dominic Crosson Fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame\, and is presently professor of religious studies at Hendrix College in Arkansas. Most of Sanders’ publications are on four topics: (1) open theism\, (2) Christian views on the salvation of non-Christians for which he is a proponent of what is called inclusivism\, (3) Christian views on the nature of hell\, and (4) applying cognitive linguistics to theology. He has given over eighty presentations at academic conferences and dozens more in church settings. His work has generated a great deal of scholarly activity in that they are substantively engaged by or at least cited in 369 books\, book chapters\, and journal articles. In addition\, 48 doctoral dissertations\, and 26 masters theses engage his publications. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease RSVP to assist us with planning.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
