Matthew Fox - Creation Spirituality. Creativity, compassion and justice.
Matthew Fox is a spiritual theologian, an Episcopal priest and an activist for gender, racial and eco- justice. He has written more than 39 books that have been translated into over 60 languages.
In 1993, he was expelled from the Dominican order of the Catholic Church after 34 years, by Cardinal Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI). His mistake was reviving Creation Spirituality which blends teachings from the Christian mystics with science, the arts, social justice, environmentalism, and ideas from other spiritual traditions worldwide (including those of indigenous cultures).
He feels that we need a massive investment of talent and discipline in our inner lives. When we do this we’ll find some solutions for the overwhelming issues including killing of our Mother Earth, of violence, self-destruction and that Creation Spirituality teaches that Justice, Joy and Compassion are the ultimate drivers for our journey.
As founder of the University of Creation Spirituality in California and The Cosmic Mass, he conducts dozens of workshops each year and is a visiting scholar at the Academy for the Love of Learning. He is the recipient of many awards including: The Abbey Courage of Conscience Peace Award. Recent projects include Order of the Sacred Earth and Daily Meditations with Matthew Fox as well as The Cosmic Mass. In this podcast:
