Where would one find a (progressive evangelical if possible) seminary or other higher education degree-granting institution with professors sympathetic to the open view. That is, willing to help a student struggle with the related issues and not with a goal to stiffle or kill it?

Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary is a strong seminary; however, there are no Open Theist profs there, nor any who would sympathize with the view. Nevertheless, as an open theist, I attended the sem. and did just fine (Ok, Ok so I ended up debating a great deal), in fact, I think I even learned a little more about loving my neighbor !

Hmmmm...but that's a great question...what about McMaster Divinity College (Pinnock is there), Baylor's Truett Sem. (Olsen and Evens are there), otherwise one could try a less evangelical sem. like Drew University, Duke University, Andover Newton, Boston University, etc. these all have Div. and theology programs. I would imagine that many United Methodist sems. would be very sympathetic to the open view, heck, you would also find a great deal of process theologians (see Claremont’s department). Well for what its worth.

Warmly in Christ,
