Action and contemplation around the globe

Many, many people, all over the world, have been inspired by the teaching of the Franciscan priest Richard Rohr, and have used it to develop a deeper sense of their 'spiritual journey'. In the British Isles there has long been a desire to build on the ground-breaking work which has been achieved from the Centre for Action and Contemplation, Richard Rohr’s centre in Albuquerque New Mexico.
 

Action and contemplation in the British Isles

Over the last ten years or so, people all across the British Isles, independently or in small local groups, have been exploring the impact of this re-invigorated thinking. ‘We’ are now seeking to build ourselves into a coherent network; and this fledgling website is one aspect of this starting to take shape.

AC-UK: Who we are

 We are you. If you:

• are a person of deep religious faith for whom faith is an integral and satisfying part of your life
• carry on with devotional practice, but it all seems a bit hollow somehow
• are someone who really hasn’t got a clue, but is interested in deep questions
• feel damaged or let down by your contact with conventional church structures
• think that religion is a damaging influence in people’s lives

If you are any of these - or any combination!  - then you are the kind of person we hope will join us. We do not use belief structures to help us feel good by peering ‘over the fence’ and looking down in some way on those who do not share those beliefs. More, we rejoice in diversity, tolerance, good humour, and ultimately, paradox.

Step one: sign up for the newsletter! and lets go from there. We’d like you to join us, because Everything: and therefore, Everyone: belongs. No exceptions.
