JOURNEYING IN THE SPIRIT

Presented by Mary Welch | One Saturday morning of the Month | 10:00 AM-12:00 PM

In-person at Wisdom House or via ZOOM

Journeying in the Spirit is a group of searchers and seekers who gather to share their spiritual journeys with one another.  Select presentations by Fr. Richard Rohr, James Finley, and other teachers from the Center for Action and Contemplation are explored, and discussed.  The subject matter is taken from YouTube presentations, Richard Rohr’s Homilies, and Podcasts from the Center of Action and Contemplation. The group meets one Saturday per month on Zoom, and once a month at Wisdom House.  There is no commitment.  A free-will offering is available. 

From April 2025-February 2026, Journeying in the Spirit will be sharing the monthly podcast presented by the Center of Action and Contemplation encompassing Richard Rohr’s latest book The Tears of Things. 

In his first major work since The Universal Christ, New York Times bestselling author Richard Rohr offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for the world today, grounded in the timeless wisdom of the Hebrew prophets.

How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today. Drawing on a century of biblical scholarship, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom, paving a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a way of compassionate living in a hurting world.
