Скачать или смотреть Richard Rohr on Action and Contemplation | Archival Recording (1987)

To celebrate the Center for Action and Contemplation’s (CAC) 35th Anniversary year, we will be releasing a series of archival recordings of Richard Rohr from the early days of our founding. This first recording is from a series of foundational teachings on “Action and Contemplation” given by Richard in 1987 — our very first year!

In this 90-minute talk, Father Richard lays out his reasoning behind our intentionally chosen name: “Even though it gives us an awfully long title, I think we didn't want to risk anybody missing what we were about. And even holding ourselves to what we want to be about, to teach at the same time and call ourselves and ask of ourselves a contemplative journey.” He goes on to describe the contemplative life, the relationship between action and contemplation, and offers some advice for those seeking the prophetic path.

Note on the video: many of the historical details of this talk are unknown, but it is suggested throughout that Fr. Richard Rohr is speaking at the Center for Action and Contemplation in early October 1987. We believe this talk likely comes from a workshop series of foundational teachings with Fr. Richard, Megan McKenna, and Ray Gunzel. It is also suggested that Fr. Richard will go on to give more talks to this group in the weeks following, but we are uncertain if those recordings exist.
