Abstract

The article is an appreciative critique of the confessional postmodernism of Stanley Hauerwas from a process perspective.  It critiques Hauerwas's development of an ethics of character and virtue by claiming that this development  (1) rests in what lends itself to a substantialist view of the self,  (2) is reinforced by an "essentialist" understanding of Christianity, and  (3) that such an understanding culminates in a separatist notion of the church-world relation.  A more adequate view of these three interrelated issues is presented based on the conceptuality of process thought.
