Summary

Richard Rohr, in conversation with Paul Swanson and Brie Stoner begin the journey through the 7 Themes of the Alternative Orthodoxy. The first theme of the Alternative Orthodoxy is the methodology that formed the remaining themes: Scripture, as validated by experience, and experience as validated by Tradition, are good scales for one’s spiritual worldview This foundational theme is the launchpad to whole of the Alternative Orthodoxy. Join us as we reflect on how we relate to scripture (even during the dry seasons), steadily learning to trust our experiences, listening to the multivocality of the Tradition, and the interplay between all three creates a unified field.
