Great Presentation by Father Richard Rohr. In this seventh and final CONSPIRE conference, Fr. Richard sums up why and how the seven themes of Alternative Orthodoxy emerge from the Perennial Tradition and create a coherent and compelling worldview. Yet, as a whole, they were seldom mainline Christianity in the first 2000 years. The Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) is an educational nonprofit introducing seekers to the contemplative Christian path of transformation. The CAC was founded by Richard Rohr in 1987, the CAC is designed to help deepen prayer practice and strengthen compassionate engagement in the world. Enjoy and share.

Yes, Virginia, There is Such a Thing as History, by Professor Diana Butler Bass
History is not just something nice we learn about the past, it is what we learn about the power struggles human beings have confronted to keep the wheel of life turning. History can be used to justify exploitation and oppression or it can be used as a tool for human liberation and fulfillment. We all have to decide how we read history and use history because history is not an objective enterprise, it is a human enterprise, and, therefore, it should be explored with all its complexities and ruffles.
