In brief, it's the notion that God can change by doing the things He does.
Thanks for the sum up. It made reading through the Wiki article a little more understandable.
NB4 panic, I understand that this is touchy material for some people. Because, frankly, they have a rather simplistic view of the Almighty and so they interpret any other view as a threat to their own.
I don't think that (a simplistic view of God) is the issue. It's that if the very little bit of reading I've done is correct, it's clearly not in line with orthodox Christianity:
"Process theology affirms that God is working in all persons to actualize potentialities. In that sense each religious manifestation is the Divine working in a unique way to bring out the beautiful and the good. Additionally, scripture and religion represent human interpretations of the divine. In this sense
pluralism is the expression of the diversity of cultural backgrounds and assumptions that people use to approach the Divine"
"Process theologians argue that God does not have unilateral, coercive control over everything in the universe. In process theology, God cannot override a person’s freedom, nor perform miracles that violate the laws of nature, nor perform physical actions such as causing or halting a flood or an avalanche"
"Contrary to
Christian orthodoxy, the
Christ of mainstream process theology is not the mystical and historically exclusive union of divine and human natures in one hypostasis, the eternal
Logos of God uniquely enfleshed in and identifiable as the man
Jesus. Rather God is incarnate in the lives of all people when they act according to a call from God. Jesus fully and in every way responded to God's call, thus the person of Jesus is theologically understood as "the divine Word in human form." Jesus is not singularly or essentially God, but he was perfectly synchronized to God at all moments of life."
