Stokes, Walter E.  "A Whiteheadian Reflection of God’s Relation to the World.” (Unpubl.)

Abstract

God's perfection must be redefined so that perfection and activity and relationship are not exclusive of one another.  Though God's creative initiative implies a certain ontological - though not temporal - priority to the world, God is also a part of the historical process as he interacts with free creatures. [Bruce Epperly, 6 Jan. 1979].
