NCR Podcast - RIchard Rohr: Seeing with God's eyes
Hosted by Tom Fox · EN
Franciscan Fr. Richard Rohr lives in a hermitage behind his Franciscan community in Albuquerque, N.M., and divides his time between local work, and preaching and teaching. He has invitations to speak from around the world. He considers the proclamation of the Gospel to be his primary call, and uses many different platforms to communicate that message. Scripture as liberation, integrating action and contemplation, building community, peace and justice, male spirituality, the enneagram and eco-spirituality are all themes that he addresses in service of the Gospel.
