Contemplative Sit | 14-min Meditation with Brian McLaren

About this sermon

Brian McLaren, Center for Action and Contemplation faculty and author of Do I Stay Christian?, invites us to enter a deeper silence and let go of our habitual thoughts, assumptions, and feelings to connect to a truth greater than ourselves. Embracing the silence and stillness of contemplation can be challenging but will get easier with a regular practice of being fully present. Return to this quiet contemplative sit whenever you feel called to open your heart to wisdom beyond your own. Contemplative Sit by Brian McLaren "Our church has been fighting during these years only for its self-preservation, as if that were an end in itself. It has become incapable of bringing the word of reconciliation and redemption of humankind in the world. We can be Christians today in only two ways: in prayer and in doing justice among human beings. All Christian thinking, talking, and organizing must be born anew, out of that prayer and action." —Bonhoeffer Practice with us: https://bit.ly/3vzfyQF Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditations are free email reflections sent every day of the year.
