Join the Bonaventure Circle
The Bonaventure Circle of Support is the CAC’s community of monthly givers making Christian contemplative wisdom more accessible to a new generation of spiritual seekers.
With your ongoing support, more people will experience the transformative power of the contemplative path and discover their belovedness in God—many for the very first time.
Together We Can Change the World
Our founder Richard Rohr always intended for the CAC to be about more than himself. By carrying forward his vision of transformed people working together to transform our world, we believe that the CAC can become a catalyzing force for change of consciousness inside Christianity and each of our communities.

“Our vision of transformed people helping to transform the world is much more than any one person can take on by themselves… We are part of a living tradition of action and contemplation, people who have gone beyond the theoretical and are living out this wisdom in their daily lives. Truly, it will take a movement of such people to create a world where everything belongs.”
– Richard Rohr

“Recently my husband, an Anglican priest, walked away from a 47-year marriage to live with someone else. He left me, our sons, our parishioners, and our friends stunned and heart-broken. I recently heard of your Daily Meditations, and they have become a blessing for me. I find it so difficult when people tell me to move on. For me, the most helpful reflections have been on living through liminal times and facing transition. I still feel that I am flying without wings, but now I am aware that God is guiding me into the next phase of life.”
“I volunteer a lot, but primarily in service to those experiencing homelessness. Reading the Daily Meditations and Richard Rohr’s books has helped me feel anchored in Love during moments of stress. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the apathy of so many people in the face of suffering in our world. The connection I have found with CAC helps ease those moments for me.”
“I live in Tennessee where Christian nationalism seems to be creeping in everywhere. But I deeply believe in a faith that is not based on indoctrination, hate, and exclusion. I make a point to support organizations that are grounded in the best of what humans can be. I do believe CAC is a positive force in the world. It’s gratifying to be part of a community full of good-hearted people committed to living with each other respectfully and in celebration of our diversity.”
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
800 years ago, St. Francis of Assisi intuited a new tradition in Christianity that was humble, loving, inclusive, and harmonious.
St. Bonaventure, a student of St. Francis, documented his transformative teachings and created the structures to make Franciscan spirituality accessible to Christian mystics, friars, and priests. This ancient tradition has largely hidden on the margins of the institutional church until its revival in the 20th century.
For the first time in history, we have an opportunity to make the Christian contemplative traditions accessible to all sincere spiritual seekers around the world. By making a meaningful monthly donation to the CAC, you’ll follow the path of St. Bonaventure, expanding the reach and accessibility of transformative wisdom and practices that create a more just, connected, and loving world.
