 In his teaching at the religious Congress in Anaheim, California, Father Richard Rohr shows us that the essential messages of both the Gospels and the letters of Paul lead us to see God's reality in a new way and to think with a " different mind ".

This gift of immense grace allows us to love God's creation and one another as a fruit of reconciliation.

Becoming Stillness

Father Richard's teaching at Norwich Cathedral.  In January 2008 Father Richard taught in Norwich Cathedral.   Julian of Norwich is a great inspiration for Richard.   Julian was a woman of great spiritual maturity , her experience of divine union is an example of how the life of faith and prayer can  expand our experience and understanding of Reality, Humanity and Divinity.

 

 

Beginner's Mind

Richard suggests that a beginner’s mind is crucial for correct understanding of religion.

Ignorance does not result from what we don’t know but from what we think we do know. Great spiritual teachers balance knowing with now knowing – and know that they don’t know.   Being willing not to know, because God knows, is a great gift.

Bias From the Bottom

The Biblical vision consistently teaches that the truth is more likley found at the edges and the bottom of society, while Institutional theology has larely been written by people at the top and the centre.

Father Richard explains how this change in perspective has distorted our hearing of the scriptures and our understanding of what Jesus is saying at every turn in Christian history.
