This winter we will ponder and discuss a recent book by noted and inspiring Franciscan teacher and preacher, Fr. Richard Rohr. He writes in his introduction, "Only when inner and outer authority come together do we have true spiritual wisdom. We have for too long insisted on outer authority alone, without any teaching of prayer, inner journey and maturing consciousness. The results for the world and for religion have been disastrous… I offer these reflections to again unite what should never have been separated: sacred Scripture and Christian spirituality." |
