Deep Ecumenism is one of the core principles of the Creation Spirituality tradition. More than just interfaith dialogue or tolerance, Deep Ecumenism is about both understanding and experiencing the depth of our spiritual traditions, from East to West, from our oldest indigenous traditions to more recent emerging traditions. This is understood through the image of “one river, many wells”: the diversity of the many traditions is represented by the wells; the unity of divinity and cosmos is the river. Both diversity and unity are honored in the Creation Spirituality tradition.

While Creation Spirituality has been articulated as an expression of a Western non-dual tradition, it can also be said that the creation-centered tradition is found in all of the great cultural traditions of humanity. The Fox Institute is committed to providing a spiritual education that respectfully honors the diversity and beauty of these great cultural traditions. At our June webinar, we will hear from faculty members of various faith traditions about their own experience and vision of deep ecumenism and how it is expressed in the context of Creation Spirituality education. We hope you will join the conversation!
