(67) Ascension Sunday. Our Question: How do I experience God?

Join us today for our lengthy discussion of the story of the Ascension. What do you make of it?

We struggle with the second reading and the Gospel.

After our recording Laura found this great quote from Richard Rohr re: the "Great Commision" at the end of Matthew's gospel. In our discussion Marci got us there anyway but it would have been nice to have had this then!

" If I wanted to create a great people, what I’ve got to do is get them outside of their country, their religion, their nationality, by saying: “Go give the message to everybody else,” and then you will find yourself converted by the people you thought you were supposed to convert. We call it “reverse mission.”
