    George, in an earlier post, noted that it is essentially impossible to
    develop a Trinitarian process theology. By "revising" terminology, one
    can come up with virtually anything. At the extreme, one may argue with
    the Hindus that all is maya, illusion.

            For the sake of accuracy I should note that I didn't say that
    developing an adequate process doctrine of the Trinity is "impossible."
    There are, however, basic difficulties for such a project & AFAIK no one
    has solved them. Joseph Bracken S.J. is one process theologian who has
    tried to do this. His attempt & the difficulties here are discussed in
    Ted Peters' _God as Trinity_ , which I recommend to everyone as a good
    survey of modern trinitarian thought with treatment of relevant
    scientific issues.

    Shalom,
