"Well, it's because I gladly acknowledge some ideas that are part of process theology, but which I think are not tied to all the details of process thought, and are very illuminating and helpful"

John Polkinghorne is revealing his appreciation for specific aspects of procedure theology, which is a philosophical system that highlights the interconnectedness of all things in deep space. He believes that a few of the ideas of procedure faith are handy and illuminating, but he does not always agree with all of the information of the system. He is recommending that it is possible to accept a few of the concepts of process theology without signing up for the whole system. He is also indicating that it is possible to take advantage of the concepts of procedure theology without necessarily welcoming the whole system. Simply put, he is recommending that it is possible to decide on which aspects of procedure faith to accept and which to turn down.
