New Issue Now Available—ONEING: Order, Disorder, Reorder

No matter what has been done to us in the past, and no matter how broken and confused it might have left us, the pearl of great price continues to shine within us—which no one can diminish or destroy.

—James Finley

How can we include and transcend the challenges we face in these uncertain times? This edition of ONEING is both a mystical and practical guide for understanding the theme of “Order, Disorder, Reorder,” and how this continual pattern repeats itself “in both people and systems.” We hope you will find deep value in this special edition of ONEING, which brings together for the first time all five faculty members of the Center for Action and Contemplation.

ONEING is the biannual journal of the Center for Action and Contemplation. Renowned for its diverse and deep exploration of mysticism and culture, ONEING is grounded in Richard Rohr’s teachings and wisdom lineage. Each issue features a themed collection of thoughtfully curated essays and critical perspectives from spiritual teachers, activists, modern mystics, and prophets of all religions.

A New Podcast with Brian McLaren, Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Richard Rohr

It is very hard to see something your group doesn’t also see or that your group doesn’t want you to see—we prefer our tribe over the Truth.

—Richard Rohr

What do we miss when our goal is really to confirm the story already in our minds? Listen as CAC faculty members Brian McLaren and Richard Rohr join Jacqui Lewis to discuss how our individual and group biases can influence the way we see, listen, and love each other in Learning How to See, a special six-episode podcast series from the Center for Action and Contemplation. Before we can learn how to see, have need to understand why we can’t see.
