    folks,

    Terry suggested in a post at the end of last month that someone held to
    process theology. Since I know Terry is Orthodox, I gather it is not
    something we want to be. On another list someone accused George Mardsen
    of holding to it (I really wonder about that). In any case, I am a
    biologists who has read a lot of theology in the past and know a lot of
    terms so figure I should not be ignorant on this one.

    Can you give me a simple clear explanation. I could just ask one of my
    theology brethern at Dordt tomorrow and then no one would know I was so
    ignorant - but if I didn't know it there could be one other lurker who
    does not know exactly what it is.

    But I guess if it is a bit heretical, I didn't think George Marsden
    would lean in that direction coming out of a conservative Presbyterian
    church (OPC and teaching at Calvin). Our won never sin. Why might
    someone suggest he leaned in that dirction? See then I have to modify
    my strong annotation of Marsden in the bibliography I hand to students
    when I work on it this summer.
