Does process theology have something to say about political and social issues and our response to them?
In this short book, Bruce Epperly says that it has much to say, and can shape not just the ethics and policies of a better world, but also the way in which we debate and decide those policies. Process theology invites discussion and even guides us toward acceptable and positive compromises.

Being prophetic is often thought to be a matter of predicting the future, creating charts of end times events, and scaring people into accepting narrow, authoritarian and other-worldly images of God, humankind, and political involvement. That is a distortion of what prophetic ministry has been and can continue to be.
In this booklet, the second of three that integrate process theology with contemporary spiritual life and activity, Bruce Epperly...

Are you afraid of the Holy Spirit being active in your church? Are you willing to admit it?
The Holy Spirit has been a kind of third-rate member of the trinity in the theological writings of mainline and progressive Christians. It seems that the Spirit brings disorder to communities, spiritual arrogance to those who claim to "have the Spirit," and frequently doctrinal confusion. We'd rather not have something in our churches that goes where it wants,...

There is a tendency among modern Christians to avoid comment on the idea of miracles or mysterious events that might indicate the direct intervention of God. There is an even more pronounced belief that modern liberal or progressive Christians will avoid these ideas. A God who is distant, the source of everything, is acceptable, but the idea of supernatural activity is embarrassing at best. There is virtually no room for theological discussions of...

In this booklet, the third of three that integrate process theology with contemporary spiritual life and activity, Bruce Epperly presents a very different view of healing. He calls for a healing ministry, but one that finds God in all things and uses scientific medicine, healing...
