Deep Religious Pluralism with Andrew Schwartz

Theology Nerd Throwdown

Are we all taking different paths up the same mountain? or are their many mountains? is there one ultimate reality or many?

Andrew Schwartz, director of the Center for Process Studies – a research center of Claremont School of Theology, in affiliation with Claremont Graduate University. CPS seeks to promote the common good by means of the relational approach found in process thought. Andrew will be teaching one of the courses at the Process Summer Institute this June on deep religious pluralism. The Process Theology Summer Institute is a 4-day (June 5-8, 2017) intensive course designed to introduce basic issues in the theory and application of process theology. You can participate in person or online!

Tripp and Andrew talk about growing up Nazarene and discovering process thought, the nature of religious commitment for the individual, going through crises of faith, the shape of an active and engaged faith, religious pluralism within and without Christianity, and, of course, process philosophy and theology.
