SUMMARY:Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Interspiritual Paradigm
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: We are just past the 25th anniversary of the Interspiritual paradigm\, named at the turn of this Century by Br. Wayne Teasdale and four other renowned global interfaith pioneers. Marking this anniversary is a new two volume thematic and chronological history of Interspirituality with contributions by over 120 global interfaith leaders– opening message by His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, Foreword by Matthew Fox (one of the namers of the paradigm) and Afterword by Colorado’s own Ken Wilber. The paradigm is also so familiar to Coloradoans because of the central role of Fr. Thomas Keating\, host of the decades long Snowmass Dialogues from his Snowmass Abbey which resulted in the Nine Points of Agreement Among the World’s Religions. In my sharing we’ll explore what the original interspiritual pioneers envisioned and how things have turned out a bit differently. We’ll also look at the four areas of emphasis for the future that the over 120 contributors to these two new historic volumes suggest is the direction things must go for our world to have a thriving global future. Our discussion will be right in line with your theme for May: Awakening Curiosity – Exploring New Perspectives \nBIO: Kurt Johnson. Rev.
