Quotes by Arthur Peacocke  (?)

“God is creating at every moment of the world's existence in and through the perpetually endowed creativity of the very stuff of the world.”
Arthur Peacocke

“The processes revealed by the sciences, especially evolutionary biology, are in themselves God-acting-as-creator. There is no need to look for God as some kind of additional factor supplementing the processes of the world. God, to use language usually applied in sacramental theology, is “in, with, and under” all-that-is and all-that-goes-on”
Arthur Peacocke

“Humanity could only have survived and flourished if it held social and personal values that transcended the urges of the individual, embodying selfish desires - and these stem from the sense of a transcendent good.”
Arthur Peacocke
