A celebrated Episcopal priest and theologian, he is president of the University of Creation Spirituality in Oakland, California. --This text refers to an alternate edition. From Michael Toms presents a swift and unadorned reading of Matthew Fox's consciousness-changing text. The treatise traces the effect of the advancement of FallRedemption theology and the denial of Creation-centered theology on contemporary society. Fox was defrocked by the Roman Catholic Church for the ideologies he supports in this text. Toms, the writer, editor and broadcast producer of public radio's New Age Dimensions, is at home with the subject. His sincere rendering of the text creates an appropriate earnestness as background. A contemporary interview with Matthew Fox conducted by Toms rewards the listener at the end.

  • Matthew Fox and the Cosmic Christ
    Matthew Fox and the Cosmic Christ ~GARETBREARLEY The myth of matricide Matthew Fox, an American Dominican, is a prolific and controversial author, whose 'creation spirituality' is gaining wide influence within both Roman Catholic and Anglican churches and retreat centres. To review his recent book, The Coming of the Cosmic Christ: The Healing of Mother Earth and the Birth of a Global Renaissance (Harper & Row, San Francisco 1988) is an even more complex task than reviewing his earlier writings, for it is somewhat like a hologram; its beginning, entitled: 'Prologue: A Dream and a VISion', already contains its end; each segment of the text is interdependent on the rest and, in a sense, contains the whole. Rather than developing thought and argument in logical progression, the book represents shafts of light thrown from different perspectives on one central image or myth. For the first time Fox has constructea an all-embracing myth which he believes is capable of explaining the totality of contemporary reality. He then demonstrates a new ethic, derived from that myth, and finally demands that an utterly new reality be formed on the basis of his central myth and its ethic. The dominant myth is that of matricide. Fox accuses traditional Christi­ anity - and therefore Western culture - of being matricidal. In earlier writings he had already radically condemned Christian orthodoxy. While claiming to restore the Hebrew roots of Christianity, Fox had in fact rejected both the God of Israel and traditional prayer as 'useless' and denied both Old and New Testaments as sources of revelation.1 In The Coming of the Cosmic Christ Fox is even more radical.

    In the Darkness Grows the Green: The Promise of a New Cosmological Horizon of Meaning Within a Critical Inquiry of Human Suffering and the Cross by Catherine A. Wright A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Theology Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Catherine A. Wright 2015 In The Darkness Grows the Green: The Promise of a New Cosmological Horizon of Meaning Within a Critical Inquiry of Human Suffering and the Cross Catherine A. Wright Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Regis College and the University of St. Michael’s College 2015 Abstract Humans have been called “mud of the earth,”i organic stardust animated by the Ruah of our Creator,ii and microcosms of the macrocosm.iii Since we now understand in captivating detail how humanity has emerged from the cosmos, then we must awaken to how humanity is “of the earth” in all the magnificence and brokenness that this entails. This thesis will demonstrate that there are no easy answers nor complete theological systems to derive satisfying answers to the mystery of human suffering. Rather, this thesis will uncover aspects of sacred revelation offered in and through creation that could mould distinct biospiritual human imaginations and cultivate the Earth literacy required to construct an ecological theological anthropology (ETA). It is this ecocentric interpretive framework that could serve as vital sustenance and a vision of hope for transformation when suffering befalls us.

  • David Van Nuys, Ph.D., Aka “Dr. Dave” Interviews Matthew Fox
    Transcribed from ShrinkRapRadio.com #412– Meister Eckhart Mystic Warrior for Our Time with Matthew Fox David Van Nuys, Ph.D., aka “Dr. Dave” interviews Matthew Fox (Transcribed from ShrinkRapRadio.com by Eric Hanley) Introduction: My Guest today is the well-known theologian, Dr. Matthew Fox, the author of over thirty books, including The Hidden Spirituality of Men, Christian Mystics, and most recently, Meister Eckhart Mystic Warrior for Our Time. A preeminent scholar and popularizer of Western mysticism, he became an Episcopal priest after being expelled from the Catholic Church by Cardinal Ratzinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI. You can find out more about Matthew Fox by visiting our show notes for this episode on Shrinkrapradio.com. Now, here’s the interview. Dr. Dave: Dr. Matthew Fox, welcome to Shrink Rap Radio. Matthew Fox: Thank you David, very good to be with you. Dr. Dave: Well I’m very pleased to have you on the show, I’ve heard your name over the years from graduate students who were drawn to your work but this is the first opportunity I’ve had a chance to dip into it. I believe I’ve heard your name in connection with something called Creation Spirituality. What can you tell us about that? Fox: Well, Creation Spirituality is the alternative version of Christianity, it doesn’t begin with original sin but original blessing. Doesn’t begin with anthropocentrism but with the universe itself, it’s not anti-science, it’s very interested in what science has to teach us about not only human nature but about nature itself and the cosmos and the history of the cosmos.

  • Creation Spirituality and Lutheranism Marilyn Jackson and Notes from a Presentation by Larry Rasmussen Augustana Heritage Gathering Rock Island, IL, June, 2010
    Creation Spirituality and Lutheranism Marilyn Jackson And Notes from a Presentation by Larry Rasmussen Augustana Heritage Gathering Rock Island, IL, June, 2010 Part I: Presentation by Marilyn Jackson, PhD, Western Institute for Social Research, Berkeley, CA; Augustana BA, religion major graduate and MA graduate of Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality, Holy Names College, Oakland, CA Introduction to Creation Spirituality as defined by Matthew Fox: As a young Catholic priest, in the 1960s, Matthew Fox was concerned about the flocking of his peers to Eastern Spirituality. He set out to discover what “Western Spirituality” had to offer. He developed Creation Spirituality, which includes any religion that holds earthly creation to be a dynamic, creative subject of our spiritual belief. Fox studied at graduate school in Paris , France, where Pere (Father) Chenu, named the "creation centered" vs. "fall/ redemption" spiritual traditions for him. He then developed an institute for the study of Western Spiritual traditions that took a few different forms in recent decades. Spirituality is a newer term for Lutherans than for Catholics. For many it means an inner experience but this inner work leads to a difference in one’s outer life as well. Mysticism is a similar word, often thought of as unrelated to every day life, though that is a narrow view, because as we change inside, it naturally changes what occurs in our outward lives. Matthew Fox expanded the definition for the terms of spirituality, mysticism and religious experience, to include art as meditation, seeing the activity of creation happening in creativity and artistic endeavor. He linked the concept of transformation and social justice.

Choral Evensong marks the end of the working day and prepares for the approaching night. The roots of this service come out of ancient monastic traditions of Christian prayer. In this form, it was created by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 16th century, as part of the simplification of services within the newly-reformed Church of England. The Episcopal Church, as part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, has inherited this pattern of evening prayer. In this service we are invited to reflect on the business of the past day, to pray for the world and for ourselves, and to commend all into God’s hands as words of Holy Scripture are said and sung. The beauty of the music is offered to help us set our lives in the light of eternity; the same light which dwelt among us in Jesus, and which now illuminates us by the Spirit. May this service be a blessing to you. Tonight we welcome the Priory in the United States of America of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem.

  • Matthew Fox's Trick-Or-Treat Spirituality
    CHRISTIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE PO Box 8500, Charlotte, NC 28271 News Article: DF108 MATTHEW FOX’S TRICK-OR-TREAT SPIRITUALITY This article first appeared in the News Watch column of the Christian Research Journal, volume 17, number 4 (1995). For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org SAN FRANCISCO — It’s Halloween weekend in this freewheeling coastal city, and the crowds are frisky on the streetcars climbing the street alongside Grace Episcopal Cathedral. “Happy Halloween!” they shout to the bystanders waiting and fidgeting expectantly at the side entrance to the cathedral’s basement. To some of the people in this line, Halloween is not simply a time to dress in exotic costumes and collect candy. It’s a sacred time to honor the ancient pagan spiritualities they embrace. Matthew Fox is here, in the name of the Cosmic Christ, to help them do it. Fox has chosen Halloween weekend — he prefers to point out it’s the eve of Reformation Sunday — to import the first “Planetary Mass” from Sheffield, England, to San Francisco. For most of his clerical career, Fox has been a Dominican priest who specialized in angering the Vatican. The Vatican silenced him for a year as a disciplinary measure. When Fox began talking again, he returned to his favorite theme, which he calls Creation Spirituality — a blend of Catholic mysticism, panentheism (“all is in God”), feminism, and environmentalism. During his struggles with the Vatican, Fox said an Episcopal bishop wrote to him, promising to protect him from such treatment if he cared to become an Episcopal priest instead.
