2021 Year in Review

Me/Us/The World: Living Inside God’s Great Story

At the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) we believe the task of nurturing contemplative consciousness is more important than ever before. In this time of global change, our religious institutions can feel increasingly out of sync with the needs of the world. But grounding ourselves in a larger story of faith, hope and love can give us the courage to do the necessary work of action and contemplation.

The Evolution of the CAC Podcast Network

How do you explain the Christ to a child?” This was the very first question we asked Richard Rohr on the first season of our flagship podcast, Another Name for Every Thing. Packed into that question were hours of reading, pondering, and Paul playing with his kids.

A Brief History and a Future Glimpse of ONEING

A key publication of CAC Publishing is ONEING—CAC’s spiritual journal, which is read by CAC constituents in fifty-five countries. The journal includes numerous well-known authors and intentionally introduces new voices through its varied themes.
