		<description><![CDATA[For a process theologian, one might suppose, it is always  time for candor. But from the process perspective, various desiderata should always  be considered. When candor is cruel or dangerous, it may have to be set aside,  at least for a while. On the other hand, when candor is too long postponed, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was  young I used to hear the story that the leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church,  at just the time when the Bolsheviks overthrew the rather moderate Mensheviks, were  holding a great national conference on vestments. This story was told, not to  deny the importance of proper vestments in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is  ironic that just as the neo-conservatives have visibly asserted American global  rule, and also made us aware that from the beginning American foreign policy  has been imperialist in nature, our global reach is receding. Our ability to  shape human history is dramatically declining. Since process theologians can  never [...]]]></description>

Do we want the power   to control and limit others, even to injure or kill them?&#160;That is   not the power embodied in [...]]]></description>
