A Few Things
Can't think of what to post, so here are just a few things ...
I've come across the writings of British theologian, Fr. James Alison. Wikipedia says of him ...
Dr. James Alison (b. 1959) is a Catholic theologian, priest, and author. He is noted for his work on gay issues and the application of René Girard's anthropological theory in theology. James Alison studied at Blackfriars, Oxford University, and earned his bachelors and master’s degrees and doctorate in Theology from the Jesuit Theology Faculty in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He was a member of the Dominican Order from 1981 to 1995. He has lived and worked in Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, and the United States. Currently he lives in England, his native country.
His writings can be found at James Alison - Theology and an article by him on Pentecost can be found at the Tablet - The wild ride.

There's an interesting article from the past in Theology Today ... Bringing Matthew Fox in from the Cold ...
The theological tilt in Fox's brand of mysticism is toward creation. His aim is not only to be creationcentered in his spirituality, but also to warn the world about any version of Christianity in which creation appears as an afterthought.... While intriguing in itself, the most significant feature of this argument may be that a mystic is making it. Fox's work provides clear evidence that a lively sense of divine creation can block both the sex-negativism and the indifference to public life that has bedeviled the mystic tradition through the centuries.
