Our Mission
The Center for Action and
Contemplation
Supports a new reformation
From the inside!
~ In the spirit of the Gospels
~ Confirming peoples’ deeper spiritual intuitions
~ Encouraging actions of justice rooted in prayer
~ With a new appreciation for, and cooperation with,
other denominations, religions, and cultures
Our Core Principles
- The teaching of Jesus is our central
reference point.
(criterion)
- We need a contemplative mind in order
to do compassionate action.
(process)
- The best criticism of the bad is the
practice of the better. Oppositional energy only creates more of the same.
(emphasis)
- Practical truth is more likely found
at the bottom and the edges than at the top or the center of most groups, institutions, and
cultures.
(perspective)
- We will support true authority, the
ability to "author" life in others, regardless of the group.
(non tribal)
- Life is about discovering the right
questions more than having the right answers.
(primacy of discernment)
- True religion leads us to an
experience of our True Self and undermines my false self.
(ultimate direction)
