Religious Naturalism
Religious Humanism
God is scientifically obsolete
But there are sources of grace beyond usWe are not the masters of our fate, we need to recognize the worth of being nurtured by this-worldly graceWonder, mystery, and awe are part of and essential to the religious experienceSlide4
Religious Naturalism
Pantheism
The Universe as a whole is divine, and there is no divinity other than the Universe and nature
The web of life is godThe web nurtures and empowers usSlide5
Religious Naturalism
Process naturalism
God is the integrative, creative process within the Universe, but god is not separate from the Universe
God doesn’t do things to us; we are co-creating with itWe experience god in the world and creation, rather than as an outside source that acts on our behalfSlide6
Panentheism
God is an entity IN and BEYOND creation
God is supreme and compassionate
Not necessarily interventionist or all-powerfulCan be sensed through experienceProcess Theism - God is the integrative process of the Universe but separate from it Transcendentalism – God is the OversoulSlide7
