God, Evil and Sin
Sunday 1 November 2020
Nigel will talk from the book by Norman Pittenger, called Picturing God, which was published in 1982. Norman presented a 'new model' of God based on the philosopher, mathematician and theologian, A.N.Whitehead in process theology.
Following the previous online discussion about Covid-19 we shall see something of what Norman has to say about God, Evil and Sin, where the assumption is that God is involved in the world, not seated outside and intervening.
PLEASE CONTACT NIGEL by Thursday 29th in order to receive details/link for joining this Zoom meeting.
