Presenter: Rev. Matthew Fox
Rev. Fox is an author, theologian and activist priest. He has been calling people of spirit and conscience into the Creation Spirituality lineage for over 50 years. His 39 books, lectures, retreats and innovative education models have ignited an international movement to awaken people to be mystics, prophets and contemplative activists who honor and defend Earth and work for justice. Today Matthew is an Episcopal priest after having been expelled from the Dominican Order, to which he belonged for 34 years, by Cardinal Ratzinger for 1) being "a feminist theologian" and 2) "calling God 'Mother'" and 3) "working too closely with Native Americans." He tries his best to wear these badges of honor with humility.
