Center for Action and Contemplation

As Pastor Alison was preparing for her sermon titled "Making Sense of the Trinity," she found the Center of Action and Contemplation (CAC) to be a particularly helpful resource — one that you may find beneficial as well!

Founded by Richard Rohr in 1987, the CAC "offers programs and resources that introduce Christian contemplative wisdom and practices—guiding seekers toward personal transformation and inspiring compassionate action in the world."

Their offerings include daily written meditations, guided spiritual practices, books and other media, podcasts, events, online education, and the Living School (a deep immersion program focused on Christian contemplative traditions).

If you want to narrow things down to one simple resource, we'd recommend signing up to receive the Daily Meditations (either daily or a weekly summary).

CAC describes the meditations this way: "Rooted in the Christian contemplative tradition, the Daily Meditations offer reflections from Richard Rohr, CAC faculty, and guest teachers to deepen your spiritual practice and inspire compassionate action in the world. Each meditation invites you to embody a transformative presence in your life and community."

Below are some of the CAC daily meditations that Pastor Alison considered when preparing her recent sermon:

• "A Trinitarian Universe"
• "The Circle Dance of God"
• ​"Considering the Trinity"
• "The Trinity Can Only Be Experienced"
