open and relational theologies group...
In November of 2003, at the annual American Academy of Religion meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, a group of diverse scholars came together to form the Open and Relational Theologies Unit of the AAR. The Center for Process Studies is a proud participant in this endeavor. The ORT unit is a diverse group, made up theologians from a wide array of backgrounds and affiliations, evangelical and liberal, including both openness and process theologies. Despite the diversity of origin, these scholars are united in their conviction that God is personal, loving, and relational, creatures are free, and the future is undetermined. If you would like more information about the goings-on of the ORT group, please contact Thomas Oord.

2009 MEETINGRelations and Freedom for God and Creation Description: Open and relational theologies often engage questions of freedom and relationality. For our session, we explore relations between God and creation and within the Trinity. These relations inform and are informed by issues of freedom, both creaturely and divine. How exactly open and relational theologies concieve of relations and freedom imply particular approaches to vexing theological problems and complex doctrines. Our two respondents John Sanders and Catherine Keller address these issues from open and process relational perspectives. Presiding: Thomas Oord, Northwest Nazarene University Presenting:
