Summary

Richard Rohr, in conversation with Brie Stoner and Paul Swanson, concludes the journey through the 7 Themes of the Alternative Orthodoxy by reflecting on how these themes relate to the values of devotion, public virtue, and simplicity. The final conversation of this season enters the tension of how one embodies these themes and values out in personal and communal ways. Join us as we seek ways to better understand how we can embody our beliefs, wrestle with our shortcomings, and play with the interrelatedness of the 7 themes with Richard’s broader work. There is a subtle striving throughout this conversation that resonates with the gifted opportunity for continued evolution for all of us in our unique contexts.
