		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[We all want power. We should not be ashamed of that. Jesus was very powerful,&#160;and so were   Socrates and Buddha. The question is, what kind of power? 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>

		<description><![CDATA[by Pat Patterson
I have a deep sense of sorrow and depression.&#160; Our country is, I believe, in a period of profound criminality and loss.&#160; It is an era marked by war, murder, and the unleashing of violence in Iraq and Afghanistan; increasing control and exploitation by corporations in the global economy resulting in bourgeoning poverty; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whitehead told us more than once that it is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true.&#160; He added that truth adds to interest.&#160; I would add that interest adds to the importance of the question whether the proposition is true.
 I have long believed that the war on terror is [...]]]></description>

He also made clear that issues should be viewed in as wide a context as possible. Judged by these principles, we Americans are not doing well. Last year this nation was guided [...]]]></description>
