Creation Spirituality: Liberating Gifts for the Peoples of the Earth
The controversial Fox ( The Coming of the Cosmic Christ , LJ 1/89) delivers a mystical manifesto for the salvation of our planet, melding Christian mysticism with contemporary social ideologies. "The creation spirituality movement is an amazing gathering place . . . for persons who have been touched by the issues of our day-ecumenists, feminists, gays and lesbians, and scientists seeking to reconnect science and wisdom." He challenges first world countries to become awe-inspired by the beauty of the universe and its gifts, and to develop a reverence for our planet. Some of his points are contradictory. He describes the "Dancing Sara's Circle" model as being "self-healing . . . like the universe itself." This follows his discussion on ecocide and the news that the damage which has been done to our universe cannot be repaired. Recommended for academic libraries housing modern mystical studies, and where cult selections such as Harold Bloom's The Book of J. ( LJ 10/15/90) circulate.- Ravonne A. Green, Emmanuel Coll.
