Richard Rohr's Daily Meditations
Seven Underlying Themes of
Richard Rohr's Teachings
Fourth Theme: Everything belongs and no one needs to be scapegoated or excluded. Evil and illusion only need to be named and exposed truthfully, and they die in exposure to the light (Ecumenism).
Our Religious Orders Were Always "Parachurch” Organizations
Meditation 50 of 52
The new structures for any “emerging church” have to be parallel and symbiotic with the existing church structures, not in opposition to or competition with anything or any other group!
Let me name just a few of these mediating institutions:
This is quite new and amazing. Most of these people have not left their historic moorings. They just pay attention to different things. They have found a symbiotic relationship between their mother churches and their own specific calling, just as religious orders always did in the Catholic Church. As a Franciscan, I have been a part of such a parachurch group for most of my life.
The Daily Meditations for 2013 are now available
in Fr. Richard’s new book Yes, And . . . .
