[Oe List ...] Matthew Fox

[RICHARD HOWIE]

In The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, Fox describes "Twenty -one  
Running, Working, Experiential Definitions of Mysticism".  I was so  
intrigued that I created 21 mandalas in response to his definitions.
Subsequently, during the 1989 Advent/Christmastide season there was a  
show of these framed mandalas in the conference room of The Capitol  
Region Conference of Churches in Hartford, Ct.   I mailed a copy of  
An Advent Journey booklet used in conjunction with the show to Matt,  
via his publisher.
It is wonderful to know that he will be in dialogue with those who  
can be present at Abbey North.
Love to all, Grace & Peace,
Ellen Howie
