Wisdom University
As the twenty-first century unfolds, there is a critical need for a new way of thinking and acting that applies ancient wisdom to contemporary challenges. To facilitate graduate study with this end in mind, One Spirit has formed an alliance with Wisdom University, founded in 1996 by Matthew Fox and now led by its new President Jim Garrison. In an integrating world, wisdom, which the University understands as the integration of intelligence and compassion, needs to be globalized and creatively applied in the marketplace of ideas and events shaping the world in order for humanity to build a truly humane global civilization. A sustainable civilization will be a wisdom civilization.

Matthew Fox developed the theology of Creation Spirituality as a way to integrate the wisdom of Western spirituality and global indigenous cultures with the emerging scientific understanding of the universe and the creativity of art. Creation Spirituality has its roots in the earliest formulations of the Judeo-Christian wisdom tradition, celebrated by the mystics of this tradition ever since, especially in medieval Europe. Creation Spirituality thus provides a holistic perspective from which to address the critical issues of our times, including the revitalization of religion and culture, the honoring of the feminine, the celebration of hope, the promotion of social and ecological justice, and the promotion of Interfaith understanding. In pursuing these goals, Creation Spirituality has sought to revitalize education, ritual, work and spirituality in the spirit of what Fox calls "deep ecumenism."

Now, as One Spirit Interfaith Seminary forges a collaboration with Wisdom University, graduates of the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary can receive significant credit toward either a Masters Degree in Wisdom Spirituality or a Doctor of Ministry from Wisdom University, while One Spirit Interfaith Seminary will offer an ordination track for Wisdom University graduates. For information call 415-561-2348 or visit WisdomUniversity.org
