About this sermon
This series of talks was delivered at a conference hosted by the Center for Action and Contemplation titled Trinity: The Soul of Creation from April 6-8, 2017, in Albuquerque, NM. Keynote speakers Fr. Richard Rohr, Rev. Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault, and William Paul Young “come together to reveal a three-dimensional view of the many-sided Mystery. The Trinity is the foundation and template for the entire universe. Belief in a Trinitarian God is not primarily a Christian theological revelation as much as it is a metaphor for the nature of reality, both seen and unseen.” In the first half of this pre-conference session Fr. Richard Rohr introduces the topics of contemplative practice and the Trinity. He begins with the idea that human thinking tends to need to know something before loving it whereas “the Divine way of thinking is that you must love it first, and then you know it.” Contemplation, he teaches, is about not needing to understand or explain the present moment but rather offering the moment compassion, reverence, and respect in its wholeness. CENTER FOR ACTION AND CONTEMPLATION The Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) is an educational nonprofit introducing seekers to the contemplative Christian path of transformation. Founded by Richard Rohr in 1987, our programs and resources are designed to help deepen prayer practice and strengthen compassionate engagement in the world. https://cac.org Subscribe: https://bit.ly/3QypRgu Learn more about Who We Are: https://bit.ly/3D8TtdU Learn more about What We Do: https://bit.ly/3qrYFGc Learn more about Richard Rohr: https://bit.ly/3ozYdmP Learn more about Contemplation: https://bit.ly/3wNojGF
