Process-Oriented God
If God was process oriented, the Book of Genesis might read something like
this: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was
without form and void, so God created a small committee. He carefully balanced the
committee vis-a-vis race, gender, ethnic origin, and economic status in order to interface
pluralism with the holistic concept of self-determination according to adjudicatory
guidelines. Even God was impressed, and so ended the first day. And God
said, "Let the committee draw up a mission statement." And behold, the committee decided to
prioritize and strategize and God called that process empowerment. And God thought it
sounded pretty good. And evening and morning were the second day. And
God said, "Let the committee determine goals and objectives and engage in long-term
planning." Unfortunately, a debate about the semantic differences between goals and objectives
pre-empted almost all of the third day. Although the question was never satisfactorily resolved,
God thought the process was constructive. And
evening and morning were the third day. And God said, "Let there be a retreat in which the
committee can envision functional organization and engage in planning by objectives." The
committee considered adjustment of priorities and consequential alternatives to program
directions, and God saw that this was good. And God thought that it was even worth all of the
coffee and donuts that he had to supply. And so ended the fourth day.
And God said, "Let the committee be implemented with long-range planning and strategy."
The committee considered guidelines and linkages and structural sensitivities, and alternatives
and implemental models. And God saw that this was very democratic.
And so would have ended the fifth day, except for the unintentional renewal of the
debate about the differences between goals and objectives. On the sixth day the committee agreed on
criteria for adjudicatory assessment and evaluation. This wasn't the agenda that God had planned.
He wasn't able to attend, however, because he had to take the afternoon off to create day
and night and heaven and earth and seas and plants and stars and trees and seasons and years
and sun and moon and birds and fish and animals and human
beings. On the seventh day God rested and the committee submitted its
recommendations. It turned out that the recommended forms for things were nearly identical to
the way that God had created them; so the committee passed a resolution commending God for his
implementation according to the guidelines. There was, however, some opinion expressed that
people should have been created in the committee's image. And
God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the committee . . .
