TRUE SELF FALSE SELF Richard Rohr, O.F.M. Franciscan priest Richard Rohr, feels that there is no more challenging spiritual issue than the problem of the self." Most of contemporary spiritual teaching, he believes, is still trying to inspire and fortify the private self, the autonomous "I." Even much church work is trying to evangelize and sacramentalize what many would call "the false self." Basic transformation is not expected, but merely a new set of beliefs and practices or loyal membership in a new group. This only confirms the disguise of the ego, but does not truly offer a "new creation." Both the individual and society remain largely unchanged. Rohr suggests that until the false assumptions of Western individualism are clearly faced and experienced by religious believers (and they are the only ones fully prepared to face it), there will be no real breakthroughs for Christianity or any religion. He makes reference to the work of Ken Wilbur, Thomas Merton, Eckhart Tolle, the mystical tradition especially of Julian of Norwich, and the new paradigms offered by quantum physics. In a presentation that embraces the challenge, inspiration, and the genuine hope that is offered by the Gospel of Jesus, Richard illustrates the implications of transformation both for individuals and for society at large.

RICHARD ROHR ON CHURCH Collected Talks: Volume Three Richard Rohr Four of Richard Rohr's classics on the life of the Church, available on CD! Talk One Catholicism: More Than a Head Trip (74 minutes) Richard Rohr fears that many Catholics are not getting a healthy, integrated and holistic teaching but simply a head trip. Many are missing the richness of our tradition. He addresses the current struggles of a Catholicism that Robert Barron says, "is in some ways bland, abstract and culturally accommodating." Talk Two Authentic Religion: Membership or Transformation? (60 minutes) Sometimes our search for God is confused with belonging to a select group and following the rules. Richard Rohr warns us that belonging to a community and "doing it right" is not always enough to open the door to God. Jesus talked about it as a narrow road. An attitude of unbounded gratefulness toward all of life reflects whether transformation is real and religion authentic.* Talk Three Faith: Recovering the Language of Belief (70 minutes) Faith is not easily achieved or understood, says Richard Rohr. In our push-button world, people struggle with the concept of mystery. Many are walking out of a Church they have never known. To some, it appears we have also lost the language of faith. Rohr encourages us to hold the hands of our ancestors and of the next generation believing Christ is risen in all things. Talk Four Gravity and Grace: Insights Into Christian Ministry (63 minutes) Christian life is the best preparation for Christian ministry, says Rohr. All we can give is who we are. Ministers are the gloves that God wears to touch us. He invites us to touch others on the edge of our society, according to our unique life and gifts.

REBUILD THE CHURCH Richard Rohr Western civilization is undergoing a crisis of meaning. Christian community needs to find new value, identity and purpose through hope, says Franciscan Father Richard Rohr. In lectures and homilies at a year-end retreat, he describes both crisis and cure. In the 13th century, he tells us, St. Francis was called by the Lord to "rebuild my Church." Anguished by the fragmentation in the Church today, Rohr invites us to rebuild the Church in the 21st century. He offers remedies to grow beyond our false worldview and narrow individualism that have destroyed our values and traditions. Rohr proposes a Reconstruction Creed that focuses on God's movement in history.

Thus he chose us in Christ before the world was made to be holy and faultless before him in love, marking us out for himself beforehand, to be adopted sons, through Jesus Christ. Such was his purpose and good pleasure, to the praise of the glory of his grace, his free gift to us in the Beloved, in whom, through his blood, we gain our freedom, the forgiveness of our sins. Such is the richness of the grace which he has showered on us in all wisdom and insight. Ephesians 1:3-8
