Matthew Fox - Crucifixion and Resurrection - North Reddish, Manchester

In the modern age we have developed knowledge, but at the expense of wisdom. The result has been ecological disaster and destitution, with a loss of meaning and shared values in our lives. We need our spirituality to bring wisdom back to us and to refresh our yearning hearts. Matthew Fox will explore how we can awaken to our divine origins so as to become transformative agents of healing and wholeness in the 21st Century.
