[Oe List ...] Matthew Fox

[Chagnon@comcast.net]

Dear Jann,
   When I saw the length of your e-mail, I decided to read just a bit and save it for later.  Then I found myself nodding over and over in agreement--as much as I responded with skepticism last year when Matthew Fox went to Wittenburg to nail his theses, like Luther, on the church door--and I couldn't stop reading.
   I have been depressed recently over what is happening in government, religion, the media, the environment and global warming, in events at home and around the globe; and I know that is neither helpful nor a faith response.  It seems that Matt has found a place to begin, with a growing global community that has local connections to many many churches, as we do.  I anticipate that some of us will want to join forces with him alongside his colleagues, and bring the vast local/global empowering leadership experience that OE/ICA represents to the table.  
   Please keep updates coming.  I will be looking for what is being planned for the East Coast, especially in Philadelphia which is just 30 minutes from Wilmington.  And thanks for including us among the Friends of Creation Spirituality.
