| Posted 1/15/2002 6:35 AM (GMT -6) | | Vexen, welcome. I’m looking forward to your introduction because I am curious (as usual, but a little more than usual in your case). I hope that Empiress posts an intro too. Looking forward to some interesting conversation…
To all the other discussion partners who have recently joined, please post here if you have not yet been properly welcomed or introduced and you would like to be.

welcome vexen and empiress. it's always great to have new members.
pia, panentheist? correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't that outside of theism? isn't that where the world is God, but God is more than just the world?

| Posted 1/15/2002 7:19 AM (GMT -6) | | June, it gave me wonder too. I think that I have seen it used two ways. Both the way I'm suspecting that pia means it (which I've seen in contemporary writing by some Orthodox authors) AND the way you are familiar with as you said above. I'm guessing that ether it got grabbed from one place by two different parties; or that the Christians were appropriating and baptizing it (since, as Frank Gabelein said: "All truth is God's truth.").
Pia, that's my guess. What's the answer?

Sorry for the pedantry. I can be an anal-retentive something sometimes...

welcome new folks. jump in with your thoughts -- or in some cases, "feelings."
Pia, do you want to qualify your "fellow panentheist" greeting?
Peace

| Posted 1/15/2002 12:31 PM (GMT -6) | | Doc: Pia, do you want to qualify your "fellow panentheist" greeting?
pia: Ok fine. Here are a couple qualifications: I am a trinitarian panentheist who holds to a limited (vs. ontological) cosmic dualism. Is that kosher enough for y’all?
Empiress, what’s your version?

oh pia, please do explain!
trinitarian panentheist? limited cosmic dualism? pia is that really you?
please correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't trinitarian panentheism that says God is the process? and we can only few it from a historical standpoint, not in future terms? if i remember correctly these ideas are linked with God directing and controlling evolution, with process theology, and with the ideas (largely) of moltmann?

| Posted 1/15/2002 5:11 PM (GMT -6) | | Welcome Empiress and Vexen. I'm usually around a lot more than I have been lately, but I just started a new job and I'm fried. In answer to Pia's question, this is from Empiress's site:
quote:
I am a Panentheist
By Empiress
I am a Panentheist. I believe that the Divine is present in everything and also extends beyond and is greater than the universe. (As distinct from Pantheists who believe the universe itself is divine.) The Divine is both transcendent and immanent in the world. I believe in the existence of a Creator who is the first cause and creative source behind life. In other words, God is the initiator of human reality. I believe Jesus Christ to be an embodiment of truth and divinity. However, I also believe there is truth in all world religions and major philosophies and that religious tolerance is absolutely imperative. We are all sojourners, together seeking truth on our life journeys. As a panentheist I am also a Universalist. I believe all of creation will be reconciled to God at some point and there is no need to proselytize or seek to convert people who are content in their current belief system. I believe in the necessity of dialogue across belief systems with the desire for mutual understanding and support. I also believe that science and religion are fully compatible within the Panentheistic framework.
Peace out beloved!

| Posted 1/15/2002 7:28 PM (GMT -6) | | Hey Mouse, I did not know if you knew that I know, but, Empiress and Vexen would appreciate if anything taken from their site would be linked. This is for revamping purposes, they do not want out dated material lying around, if, they change their mind about certain ideas or beliefs.
Peacenot this:

I just posted on the other introduction thread and being computer illiterate didn't put up any links. But hey I think we have enough links posted that we can all find their site. right? Still a no no? If I'm forgiven give me one of those fancy, scrolling, colorful, happy, hoppy, banners.
 It's good to be back. When my husband came in from work he asked if I had been resting. I've had the cruditis. I said yeah I sat in bed and read research all day. He didn't seem to think that counted. hmmmmm
Hope you are all well,

| Posted 1/17/2002 6:21 AM (GMT -6) | | Springs, Mary Daly has her very own dictionary of words she makes up (Websters' [as in Spiders, not Mr. Webster] First New Intergalactic Wickedary of the English Language). I think you should have your own dictionary too, and it should have entries for "cruditis" and "ookie." pia

I love your colorful animated contributions. (and the absolution is nice too)
Pia, Sounds like my kind of dictionary!
I’ve been sitting in front of this blasted computer all morning, trying to find some serious research material from some reputable sources. Argh. First I couldn’t access the college library from home cause I don’t know how to figure out what the heck my modem is called. Then I couldn’t access a teenager to ‘splain it to me. Urgh. I’m not asking for the world. I just wanted a few Landmark studies on Organizational Development having to do with Change Theories! Someday when I grow up I want to be a web wizard like Faithful, and PoW and that J.C. Sites guy.
