DESCRIPTION:David Ray Griffin of Claremont School of Theology (Emeritus) is coming to 
 Santa Rosa Sunday afternoon (Oct 3rd).   Author and editor of 25 books, 
 Griffin was,  before his recent retirement, Professor of Philosophy of 
 Religion and Theology at  Claremont for 31 years. He is an advocate of 
 process theology and has given  special attention to the problem of evil, 
 Jesus and christology, science and  theology, and ecology and religion. Two 
 of his most recent books are entitled  Reenchantment without 
 Supernaturalism:  A Process Philosophy of Religion, and Two  Great Truths: 
 A New Synthesis of Scientific Naturalism and Christian Faith.  So why is 
 Griffin coming to keynote a forum on "Truth and Politics:  Unanswered 
 Questions about 9/11"? Because another topic to which he has devoted 
 himself  over the past decade has been theology and politics, with 
 particular  attention to the need for global democracy. After 9/11, he 
 began an intensive study of  US imperialism. In the course of that 
 investigation, he came across evidence  suggesting that the attacks of 9/11 
 may have been arranged by the Bush  administration as a pretext to further 
 its imperialistic goals. Out of this study he  wrote The New Pearl Harbor: 
 Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration  and 9/11, which 
 entirely through word-of mouth publicity--it has yet to be  reviewed in a 
 mainstream newspaper or magazine--has become something of a best-seller. It 
 is widely considered the best introduction to the Problems with the  
 official account of 9/11. Now Griffin has written another book on the 
 subject,  this one taking a critical look at The 9/11 Commission Report.   
 His talk will  be based primarily on this forthcoming book, The 9/11 
 Commission Report:  Omissions and Distortions.  In addition to Griffin, the 
 forum will hear from Derrill Bodley, father of Deora Bodley, who died on 
 9/11 in the crash of United Flight 93. Then a panel,  including Peter 
 Phillips (Project Censored/SSU), William Haigwood (Sonoma West  Times & 
 News), and Bonnie Faulkner (host of Guns & Butter, KQED Public Affairs  
 Show), will question Griffin and Bodley, followed  by questions from the  
 audience.  As active members of the Santa Rosa Interfaith Ministerial 
 Association I hope  you can join us at this very timely event next Sunday 
 afternoon at the  Presbyterian Church of the Roses (2500 Patio Court, SR,
