‘ONE RIVER, MANY WELLS’

This was created for an Interfaith Service, inspired by Matthew Fox’s Interfaith Classic, ‘One River, Many Wells’ given at Godalming Meadrow Unitarian Church for ‘InterFaith Week’ in November 2018. (www.unitariangodalming.org.uk)

As Matthew Fox writes, one of the greatest Christian Mystics, Meister Eckhart offers a beautiful Divine analogy that, ‘God/Divinity is a great underground river that no one can dam up and no one can stop’ and extends this analogy by saying, ‘There is one underground river - but there are many wells into that river: an African well, a Taoist well, a Buddhist well, a Jewish well, a Muslim well, a goddess well, a Christian well, and aboriginal wells. Many wells but One River.’
