Aspen Chapel hosted a very special day with Richard Rohr. 
Richard Rohr is a Franciscan priest and one of the world’s leading exponents of the way the contemplative life can be linked with radical action. He is the founder of The Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico and The Living School, where he teaches and administrates alongside Cynthia Bourgeault and James Finley. Richard has written many books, however now only travels rarely, so Aspen Chapel was very privileged to host him. Read more about Richard’s work HERE.
Themes of the day
Richard addressed the key issues regarding how relevant the Christian model is now for Contemporary Society.
- With more and more people seeking wisdom in other ways, what do any of us have to offer?
Are there new structures that have to be developed? New ways of being? A new mind? - Each of us is faced with the challenge of making our spiritual lives relevant to both our own lives, and those around us. Just how do we go about that in a society that seems to reject anything that does not give instant gratification?
