The Process Theology Summer Institute is a 4-day (June 6-9, 2016) intensive course designed to introduce basic issues in the theory and application of process theology. Broken down into three distinct parts with different course facilitators, the Process Theology Institute can be taken as a single 3 credit course, as individual 1 credit courses, or without credit directly from Process & Faith.
The teachers include Monica Colemann, John Cobb, and Tripp Fuller.

Thanks for the interesting discussion. It seemed like a helpful introduction to process theology. One of the things that troubled me was the tendency of the speakers in criticizing traditional theology to set up straw men and knock them down (God uses bullying power rather persuasive power); the process God is omnipresent whereas the traditional God is -- what? not omnipresent? or to misrepresent traditional theology -- the speakers often spoke of free will an aspect of process theology which does not exist in traditional theology.
Thanks Trip and Monica! I missed it live here in Australia. That may or may not have had something to do with trying to read Whitehead for hours the night before.
What are the broadcasting hours for next week, and in what zone? I'll be catching it from Australia EST.
What is good about process theology? Or is there a system of intelligent in quantum realm?
Has anybody put any work into synthesizing Wesley's "Prevenient Grace" and Process?
Todd Erickson you should read Karen Baker Fletcher's work
I believe Thomas Jay Oord has done work in that area. He's a Nazarene. He has a website/blog. I recommend his two recent books The Uncontrolling Love of God and God Can't.
I was a test reader for "God Can't". I'm quite familiar with Oord. But thank you.
@@Phule77 Oord was either a Grad Student or colleague of David Ray Griffin at Claremont I believe?
@@cercatoreoneaosta4810 He was a former professor at NNU Nazarene Seminary, but was fired for teaching Evolution.
He has only been writing and speaking since then.
Why is Monica smiling so much? Is she happy?
It would seem so. I've noticed Process Theologians/Thinkers generally tend to be a happy lot.
yes, i am happy
@@revdrmonica what can I do to be happy?
@Aditya Prathap I don't believe Jesus was god though.....
@Aditya Prathap I've looked at much of the evidence and remain unconvinced. Thanks for the links.
So if God acts in different traditions, is God acting when he tells Muslims that Jesus did not die through the Koran? And also tell them that the Koran is the final and literal Word of God?
Isn't that a contradition to say God is acting in that, and also in the Christian story?
No, God isn't telling Muslims that Jesus did not die or that the Koran is the final and literal word of God. When Process Theologians say God acts in different traditions, they don't mean in particular ways like that, but in inspiring to greater heights of love, compassion, mercy, grace, justice, charity, wisdom, etc. There are also common core teachings underlying all the world's major religions. It is known as the Perennial Philosophy. Aldous Huxley wrote a book about it titled The Perennial Philosophy. Professor Huston Smith also wrote a book about it called Forgotten Truth. The case can be made that all the world's religions have these common core teachings because God is acting in all of them.
@@lanceanderson1513 Yup. Another interesting resource is Sect Shinto in Japan, that contains several inclusivist monotheisms that have an understanding of God very similar to Whitehead's.
Tripp, please, shut up, let her speak!
