Towards a New Mythology: New & Ancient Names for God Derived from Mystical Ancestors and Science
Lawrence Lecture to be given by Matthew Fox on November 10, 2023 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley
The 2023 Lawrence Lecture will be given by spiritual theologian Rev. Dr. Matthew Fox on Friday, November 10 at 7pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley. The topic, “Towards a New Mythology: New & Ancient Names for God derived from Mystical Ancestors and Contemporary Science (& Fit for Some Atheists too)” addresses the Lawrence Lecture mission: to inquire into the nature of religion, either as a sociological and value-oriented phenomenon or as a spiritual and conscious awakening force, in a world of accelerating technological and social change as well a one of sharpening human crisis and conflicting social values.
Rev. Matthew Fox, PhD, author, theologian, and activist priest, (matthewfox.com) has been calling people of spirit and conscience into the Creation Spirituality lineage for over 50 years. His 36 books (translated into 74 languages), as well as his lectures, retreats, and innovative education models, have ignited an international movement to awaken people to be mystics and prophets, contemplative activists, who honor and defend the earth and work for justice.
The Lawrence Lecture, a 45 year tradition, past speakers include William Sloan Coffin, Rollo May, Houston and Kendra Smith, Daniel Ellsberg, Barbara Boxer, Holly Near, Van Jones, Jack Kornfeld, Keith Knight, and Ysaye Barnwell. The lecture is intended to appeal to the larger community as well as our members, highlighting UUCB’s presence as a cultural resource and addressing concerns of religious and moral values in our contemporary lives.
Ticket prices are $20 in advance, $23 at the door and $15 for students (please bring student ID). No one turned away for lack of funds. Free parking is available.
