Process theology offers alternative view of God in tragedy
In Cedar Rapids a panel led by Pastor David Polk argues that process theology explains suffering without an intervening God. The approach says God and the world shape events together, with God persuasively guiding rather than coercively controlling. The Nov 6 7 conference at First Lutheran features John Cobb Jr. and multiple seminars with college and church leaders.
