Breakfast with Whitehead
For Pastors and Faith Leaders
Join a group of clergy as we explore how Whitehead’s ideas can meet us in our own religious traditions and become fertile ground for theological reflection and pastoral ministry. Led by Jay McDaniel, this four-week class will focus on Whitehead’s concepts of Peace and God as found in Adventures of Ideas and Process & Reality. True to the nature of Open and Relational Theologies, we respect and welcome diversity in faith tradition, personal experience, and theological perspective.

Beauty and the Spirit
For Pastors and Faith Leaders
"In a sense, all the contemporary crises can be reduced to a crisis about the nature of beauty."
--John O'Donohue
In this four-week class led by Jay McDaniel, we will explore the sacramental life through the theme of beauty. The book Beauty:The Invisible Embrace by Catholic priest John O'Donohue will be the starting point for discussions. O'Donohue weaves his reflections on beauty through the topics of music, color, shape, dance, imagination, experience, and even death -- ultimately arriving at Beauty as the one in whom we live, move, and have our being. We welcome diversity in faith tradition and theological perspective.
