What Do I Do with My Anger?
About This Event
Many of us feel growing anger about politics, economic opportunities, persistent racism, our threatened environment, and broken institutions. What do we do with our anger—and can ancient wisdom from the contemplative Christian tradition offer guidance for us in these times?
Join us in a shared online space to explore these important questions alongside CAC founder Fr. Richard Rohr, author of the new book, “The Tears of Things,” and CAC Dean of Faculty, Brian McLaren.
Event Details
Richard Rohr and Brian McLaren will guide attendees through teachings, conversations, and practices designed to help us explore where our anger fits within the contemplative Christian tradition. The gathering will take place on March 14, 2025 from 10:00 – 11:30 am PT. Participants will need a device with reliable Internet access, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer to access Zoom.

“I have become convinced that most anger comes, first of all, from a place of deep sadness.”
—Richard Rohr
