This group meets at 3 pm on Zoom every Thursday beginning June 20. This “study” required no knowledge to begin with…except the ability to read a chapter before class (most of the time—we’ve all hit one of those weeks and let the others carry us that day). We respond to what touches us, makes us curious, and challenges previous certainties. We share what pushes us to grow and what realizations have surprised us. 

The ideas in the book from the universal Christ bring life and energy and meaning…and who doesn’t need that in their lives.

Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet.

Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.
