#CreationSpirituality resists preaching of #cheapguilt that disempowers ppl & reinforces #shame & pessimism & fails to honor/unleash the power of #creativity. Whether this teaching comes thru ideologies of #OriginalSin in religion or consumer #capitalism, it is equally pernicious.

#Diversity is the nature of the Universe...
There are many wells of #faith & knowledge drawing from one underground river of Divine Wisdom. The practice of honoring, learning, & celebrating the wisdom gathered from these wells is #DeepEcumenism. #CreationSpirituality

#CreationSpirituality is about simplifying our lifestyles, for how else can we ensure the Earth survives the human experiment? It's about spirituality & not religion as such, finding common ground w/ faith believers but not putting concepts, dogmas or doctrines ahead of experience. #OrderOfTheSacredEarth bit.ly/4hkaVA6

#CreationSpirituality is about recovering #nature and all of #creation as #sacred again, supporting #eco-activists and others seeking social, racial, gender and environmental justice. #LoveProtect+DefendMotherEarth #OrderOfTheSacredEarth

#CreationSpirituality emphasizes the #sacredness of Earth. It encourages #creativity to combat works causing #globalwarming & #climatechange & other expressions of #injustice, while working hard to interfere w/ the #suffering of #MotherEarth & her creatures. bit.ly/3Ql5rsN

#CreationSpirituality begins not with #OriginalSin but w/ #OriginalBlessing: i.e., #life & #existence are #good & indeed "very good" (Gen.1:31). This makes a big difference psychologically & sociologically: OS=self-doubt, despair, dependence vs OB=empowerment & responsibility. #OrderOfTheSacredEarth bit.ly/3WRTQFD

The #OrderoftheSacredEarth grows out of the #CreationSpirituality tradition running thru most human religions & philosophies. It's based in #DeepEcology & #DeepEcumenism; seeing #creation as #originalblessing...; seeing #God as both #Father & #Mother. https://www.matthewfox.org/donation-store/order-of-the-sacred-earth-an-intergerational-vision-of-love-and-action

#CreationSpirituality is both a tradition & movement, celebrated by mystics...from every age & culture. It's the Bible's oldest tradition & that of the historical Jesus: Israel's wisdom tradition is creation-centered. CS traditions run thru most of humanity's religions & philosophies. bit.ly/4hkaVA6
