"In our relation to God, there is no distinction of body and soul. Every cellular event in our bodies, lives on in God, just as does every personal experience. Here, too, we can speak of the resurrection of the soul. But in this case, the resurrection of the soul and the resurrection of the body are united. It is in the wholeness of our psychosomatic being that we live forever in God."
John B. Cobb, Jr., "The Resurrection of the Soul," p. 227
Support Our Continued Work Spreading Dr. Cobb's Vision
The Work of the Center for Process Studies is Supported by the Generosity of Independent Donors
The Center for Process Studies was founded in 1973 by John Cobb, who promptly enlisted the help of David Ray Griffin as co-director. With their early leadership, the Center became an ever-growing community of communities collaboratively pursuing the common good.
Today, the Center continues to advances Dr. Cobb’s vision, exploring ever-expanding horizons. In our new era operating as an independent non-profit, these rich creative advances are more feasible than ever before. However, the support of independent donors remains crucial for us to best actualize these latent potentials. Please consider either one-time or recurring donations to support our programming or explore planned giving. We also welcome volunteer applications if you would like to support the Center through donating your time and expertise.
