Excerpts |
Authors |
| "To
work with God is to exercise the metaphysical freedom God gives us
moment by moment as fully as we can and as much in accordance with
God’s call as possible. God calls us to open ourselves to ways
of being and doing that go beyond what we have thought or done in
the past."

"Process spirituality is grounded in a metaphysical vision that affirms the dynamic interrelatedness of life, the omnipresence of God, and the ubiquitous reality of divine inspiration." ~Bruce G. Epperly |

| "We often think
of spirituality as something practiced in solitude. Process
thought stresses that nothing happens in a vacuum, therefore, a
process spirituality must take account of the social dimension of
spiritual practice, including ritual, ceremony, and liturgy as
spiritual paths."
