Fire and Water, Creativity and Community

Matthew Fox

Sunrise Ranch

(Conclusion of the Creative Field Conference)

September 18, 2011

MATTHEW FOX: Good morning. It’s a pleasure to be worshipping with you this morning and to have been among you these last few days. The choir sang this morning about fire and water, so I’d like to speak a few words about the fire of creativity and the water of community this morning.

In fact, that is the very meaning of “community,” working together at a common task.

Consider the spectacle of the “Arab Spring” where people, many of them young adults, are waging a non-violent effort in Syria and Egypt and Tunisia (armed in Libya) to assert their rights to some kind of say in their political lives. Courage is afoot and courage is the number one sign of a spiritual life. “By their fruits you will know them,” said Jesus. Courage is a sure test of healthy fruit… >>Click Here to continue reading >>
