Reverend Matthew Fox used raves as masses and officiated Jerry Garcia's wedding and funeral.
. “We at CU Boulder do a lot of the holding for Naropa,” explains project archivist Kami McDaniel. “We just have more space.”
There Fox began moving toward the fringe of Catholic doctrine, both professionally and philosophically. He focused on “creation spirituality,” a set of beliefs largely antithetical to the Creation-Fall-Redemption-Consummation paradigm upon which even the modern Catholic Church is still largely based.
The discord between the Catholic Church and what Fox was doing and teaching only grew. He was “doing a lot of work with the AIDS epidemic and those affected by it in the early ’90s,” notes McDaniel. “He was labeled a ‘feminist theologian’ in Cardinal Ratzinger’s papers. He was an advocate for what we now call the LGBTQ+ population at a time when that wasn’t happening much anywhere, let alone in the Dominican Order.
As with many disillusioned Catholics, Fox found himself drawn to the Episcopal Church. He met British Anglicans who’d developed religious “raves” as a way to relate to and attract more youth. Inspired, Fox began hosting his own “Techno Cosmic Masses” in Oakland, California and, eventually, other cities.
"I am hoping that my papers can help tell a fuller story of the creation spirituality lineage and movement that I have been blessed to be a part of," says Fox."The story has been inspirational — the journeys of Deep Ecumenism, including, of course, my learning from Indigenous teachers and ceremonies and wisdom teachers, too. But also the work of today’s post-modern science, including people like cosmologist Brian Swimme and Rupert Sheldrake, with whom I’ve written two books.
