Richard Rohr Saturday Conference: “Things Hidden”

In this all-day conference, Fr. Richard Rohr communicates some of the most exciting themes of the Bible, “things hidden” as Jesus said, “since the foundation of the World.” How do we gradually come to believe for ourselves, and know with immense inner authority?

Learn a method for reading Scripture that puts heart and head together. Discover how a theme unfolds inside the entire Bible, creating a spirituality that is grounded, traditional, and yet frequently “counter-intuitive” in its mature form. Give the Biblical text true authority, and yet avoid fundamentalism.

Breaking Free

October 26, 2007 - Banishing God to the heavenlies out there somewhere and thus thinking that we’re somehow in control is not the way to freedom. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. And that means His will, not ours. How are you doing with that process?

Time to Graduate
