2009 MEETING

Relations and Freedom for God and Creation
Open and Relational Theologies Consultation
Sunday, November 7, 2009 (9:00am - 11:30am)

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.
