Some Process insights:
Creativity—radical and pervasive—is the fundamental idea of process thought. By saying that creativity is pervasive, I mean spanning the entire spectrum of reality, from God all the way down to atoms, electrons, and quarks, though in these elementary particles the degree of creativity is so minimal as to be almost (but not quite) negligible.
To be a creature, any creature, is to be creative, is to be a creator, though not of course the Creator. And rather than claiming that God is the only Power, process proposes that all creation is co-creation, and that the creative process is just that: a process involving both God and creatures, and not simply a Divine fiat. Jesus made essentially the same point when he said, "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work."
From a process perspective, God is always present in the very midst of our becoming, offering perfect possibilities in every new moment for each individual’s highest good. Such possibilities Whitehead calls "initial aims," and these aims are directive and persuasive, but never coercive. And so every becoming occasion begins with God as creative love: everlastingly leading, luring, urging all actualities to new heights of fulfillment and enjoyment.
A process theology gently
opposes pantheistic slogans such as "God is all there is," and suggests that a
closer approximation to the truth is to be found in the idea of panentheism.
Whereas pantheism would assert that "All there is IS God," a process approach,
and panentheism, would support the simple solution of adding a single word, and
say instead that "All there is is IN God." Inclusion is by no means synonymous
with identity.
