It Takes a Movement | Richard Rohr & Michael Poffenberger | Returning to the Center

About this sermon

Richard Rohr and CAC Executive Director Michael Poffenberger discuss the CAC’s growing role as part of a broader contemplative movement. Father Richard Rohr founded the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) in October of 1987. Envisioning a “school for prophets” at the intersection of praxis and prayer, he created the CAC to be an educational nonprofit that introduces spiritual seekers to the Christian contemplative path of transformation. Since then, his vision, teachings, and partnerships have propelled CAC programs and inspired a movement for contemplative spiritual renewal. However, at this stage in his life, Richard’s desire is to create space for the rest of us to step in and carry his work forward into the future. For several years, he has been engaged with CAC leadership in a gradual process of stepping back from active duties, and in this series of conversations, Michael Poffenberger (CAC Executive Director) and Richard Rohr (CAC Founder) talk about the ongoing transition and living our mission of action and contemplation forward into the future.
