"The best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better." -- Richard Rohr
Come to the first large gathering of Roman Catholic, Mainline Protestant, Evangelical, and other Christians seeking to explore this emergence and convergence together. You'll be inspired by provocative speakers and spiritual leaders and engage in in-depth conversation about our shared quests for:
- A fresh understanding of Jesus
- Spirituality that links contemplation and action
- Social justice and holistic mission
- Authentic community
Join Fr. Richard Rohr, Brian McLaren, Phyllis Tickle, Shane Claiborne, Alexie Torres-Fleming, and others for 3 days of spiritual enrichment, challenge, and shared exploration as we envision what the Christian community can be and do in this generation and in generations to come.
About the Conference Hosts
The Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC), located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was founded in 1987 by Franciscan Father Richard Rohr who saw the need for a training/formation center that would allow spiritually seeking people to balance social action with contemplation, and contemplation with social action. Committed to offering a constructive message of the Gospel that crosses boundaries of religion, ethnicity, social class and gender, the CAC provides numerous programs and resources aimed at offering hope, inspiration and spiritual challenge.
