Register Now for “The Cosmic Christ and tbe Historical Jesus” in the Christ Path Seminar!
The upcoming weekend, Cosmic Christ and the Historical Jesus, is approaching rapidly – 6/28-30!
Our accelerating world crisis demands a revolutionary vision of the Cosmic Christ and a radical, relevant Christianity. In response, (r)evolutionary theologian/author/activist Matthew Fox and author/mystic Andrew Harvey are offering the Christ Path Seminar, a 3-year series of initiatory workshops offering an embodied mystical practice of the Cosmic Christ and a radical, relevant Christianity…now a bold experiment in the emerging Gift Economy!
- Are you a spiritual seeker, longing for a richer, deeper, fuller mystical experience that contributes concretely to saving the planet…a world-changing practice of sacred activism?
- Are you a churchgoing mystic, bored and/or disturbed by the narrowness of church doctrine and longing for a living experience of the real Jesus through authentic Christian mystical teaching and practice?
- Are you a “recovering Christian,” having left the churches but still longing for a deep, direct connection with Jesus and the gospel message?
- Are you a spiritual activist, outraged by religious and social corruption and environmental devastation, and longing for a culture that values contemplation, justice, and planetary survival?
If so, you are invited to join in one, two….or all!… of these unique weekend initiations over the next three years.
In a new, organic and highly interactive experience of workshop-as-initiation, you’ll receive practical answers in response to the crises of this time: tools to cultivate critical dialogue and creative initiatives for personal and social transformation.
And you’ll partake of the wisdom of a stellar lineup of guest speakers including activist and karma yogi Adam Bucko, author/educator Brian Swimme, economic prophet David Korten, healer and spiritual author Carolyn Myss, and more.
Don’t miss the second weekend, Cosmic Christ and the Historical Jesus, featuring Bruce Chilton, offered June 28-30 online by live-streaming and on-site at the First United Methodist Church in Pittsburgh, PA. Learn more here.

As the World Celebrates Election of Pope Francis,
Matthew Fox Urges Balance
With the election of Pope Francis, first non-European pontiff in 1400 years, Catholics are celebrating the hope of an end to Church corruption. Matthew Fox offers interviews looking at the past history of the new Pope and urging caution to balance the global optimism.
After receiving broad media recognition for his long struggle in speaking truth about Vatican power and revealing Papal corruption in The Pope’s War: Why Ratzinger’s Secret Crusade Has Imperiled The Church And How It Can Be Saved, Fox considers the new Pope in the context of his response to the liberation theology movement and the
Argentinian dictatorship, and his membership in the right-wing organization called Communion and Liberation.
His summation? “The corruption the Vatican is in at this time in history is unparalleled, unless you go back to the Borgias of the 16th century. So we’ll see if this guy can really clean house or not. But let’s not put too much of our energy there. Let’s put energy into starting new base communities, a new version of Christianity that really goes back to the Gospels and gets the job done. That’s the real issue.”
