September 13: Building Communities in a Dying Civilization
The civilization we have known is dying. Sadly, it is not transforming itself into something that could survive. Accordingly, the death of the civilization will also be the death of billions of people as well as the extinction of thousands of species. Given that it is too late to prevent losses, what can we do? My judgment is that we can build sustainable local communities many of which can survive. If we made this global policy, even now, our losses would be greatly reduced. Register Here

Open and Relational Theology: An Introduction to Life-Changing Ideas
by Thomas Jay Oord
They’re too technical or they describe a God nobody understands. Sometimes the God portrayed sounds like a controlling boyfriend or absentee parent. Rather than woo or persuade, most theology books clobber readers into submission. Thomas Jay Oord presents a theology that makes sense. It fits the way we live our lives and matches our deepest
intuitions. To the surprise of some, it harmonizes with sacred scripture... at least the good parts. And it promotes a genuinely loving God. Learn More

Partnering with God: Exploring Collaboration in Open and Relational Theology
by Reddish, Bonnie Rambob, Fran Stedman, Thomas Jay Oord
The idea that we can partner with God strikes some people as audacious. Others consider it pretentious. Some may think it’s downright
blasphemous! Can creatures actually can partner with God? This book answers that question... in the affirmative. The responses vary and the proposals provoke new insights. Along the way, the ideas break new ground. It turns out “partnering with God” has various meanings and dimensions. The seventy-seven contributors explore this rich diversity in accessible language, deep insight, and multiple stories. Their explorations inspire, elucidate, and motivate! Learn More

Physics of the World-Soul: Alfred North Whitehead's Adventure in Cosmology
by Matthew David Segall
Alfred North Whitehead was among the first initiates into the twentieth century’s new cosmological story. In this newly revised and expanded edition, Segall both sets Whitehead’s philosophy of organism in historical context and brings it into conversation with key elements of contemporary scientific cosmology—including relativistic, quantum, evolutionary, and complexity theories. It lays bare the inadequacy of the materialistic-mechanistic metaphysical interpretation of these theories and exemplifies the contributions Whitehead’s cosmological scheme can make to the urgent transdisciplinary project of integrating natural science with the presuppositions of human civilization.
