Why it's a Good Time to go Open/Relational with Andrew Davis

Really fun to have Dr. Andrew Davis on the podcast today. Andrew is an author, theologian, and process philosopher and a reknowed expert in all things Alfred North Whitehead. Most importantly, Andrew is a friend! Please check out his website at andrewmdavis.info and don't forget to subscribe to his youtube channel at @AndrewMDavis-yo3mm. 

I loved this conversation and I can prove it to you because I first heard Andrew talk along these lines almost two years ago. That's right, in the summer of 2022 I heard AD give a presentation on Whiteheadean transitions and I've not forgotten it. So, when I decided to do an entire season around open and relational theology, I knew I wanted to kick it of with this conversation. 

These are the ten transitions we talk about and all of them have huge implications: 

1. From exception to exemplification
2. from being to becoming
3. from mechanism to organism
4. from independence to mutual imminence
5. from force to persuasion
6. from dogmatism to dynamism
7. from passivity to creativity
8. from decadence to adventure
9. from pessimism to possibility
10. from solitude to divine world loyalty
