Holding the Tension: The Power of Paradox (DVD)
The subject of the 2007 year beginning conference was determined by questions that Fr. Richard had received time and again over the last few years. How do you hold the tension of these opposites that you talk about on a practical level? How do you live with your own contradictions and inconsistencies which have all been multiplied by the contradictions and inconsistencies of our government and our church? Fr. Richard began with a quote from Gerald May’s book The Wisdom of Wilderness? God Save me from coping God help me to join, not separate Help me to be with and in, not apart from Show me the way of savoring, not controlling Dear God, Hear my prayer Make me forever cope-less We were never taught to stop, to savor, and to hold our feelings of fear, anger, grief or loneliness. We were taught to get rid of our pain before we learned its lessons. Maybe that’s why wisdom is hard to find in our culture. Fr. Richard was joined by Sr. Mary Beth Ingham in unpackaging, on a practical level, the way to hold the tension and learn wisdom from our lives. Disc 1 -- Richard Rohr: Living Inside of What is.
