July 22, 2012

Rev. Sally Beth Shore

"An Introduction to Process Theology"

Are we being? Or are we becoming? The mathematician Alfred North Whitehead articulated a philosophical system in 1929, challenging the view of a static "ground of being." Nothing, as it turns out, is, because all is changing in each moment. It's a little hard to get used to that idea, but a process view of reality actually solves a lot of problems, and allows for a theology that merges science and spirituality. Today, we'll look at the difference between being and becoming, and why process thinkers believe it matters; along the way hoping to discover if this is a useful distinction for our lives. 
 

Sally Beth Shore is a Candidate for Unitarian Universalist Ministry who graduated with her M.Div. from Meadville Lombard Theological School in May 2012. Prior to ministerial formation, she worked as an Environmental Science instructor. Rev. Shore lives with her husband and three children in Asheville, where she is a member of the UU Congregation of Asheville. From 2008-2010 she served as the Intern Minister at the UU Congregation of the Swannanoa Valley.
