Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditation
From the Center for Action and Contemplation
I believe that we rather totally missed Jesus’ major point when we made a religion out of him instead of realizing he was giving us a message of simple humanity, vulnerability, and nonviolence that was necessary for the reform of all religions—and for the survival of humanity. We need to dedicate our lives to building bridges and paying the price in our bodies for this ministry of reconciliation (Ephesians 2:13–18). The price is that we will always, like all bridges, be walked on from both sides. Reconcilers are normally “crucified,” and the “whole world hates them,” because they are neither on one side nor the other. They build the vulnerable bridge in between, which always looks like an abdication of ground to the supposedly “true believer.”

Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditation
From the Center for Action and Contemplation
I just discovered your church and these devotions. Thank you so much for posting them. I believe in Christian universalism and don’t know anyone else around me who believes this except my daughters! So I thank you for posting these devotions. They are a balm to my soul. I also love Richard Rohr and his emphasis on God’s nonviolent love. I want to soak in these truths and learn more. God bless you and have a great day!
