I don't follow many teachers but Richard Rohr is one I do.
He certainly does have a good grasp on life and faith.

He does fit into the Emergent church philosophy while retaining his affiliations with the Catholic Church. Funny how 90% of what he says goes against all modern Christianity while more fully explaining the reality of it at the same time.

We would all benefit from Richard's perspectives.

Thanx for posting!!

“The ultimate sin is to think we are separate from one another, any race, any religion,” Rohr told the crowd.

Some will say that is a controversial statement. Rohr himself must feel like an outsider sometimes compared to some of the more conservative clergy. I sense that he likes being different, separate anyway. Hypocrisy? Or am I misreading this?

I like just about everything Rohr said in the article, I agree with his point of view. I wonder if, at the end of the article, he is not being overly optimistic, saying "I do believe that God is saving the world, and God goes on working."

If that is true, God has a strange way of saving us. Or perhaps as he seems to be saying, we (including so-called Christians and other religious people) are going all out in so many ways to thwart God.
