From the archives: Ed Bacon's November 13, 2005 sermon preached in response to IRS allegations of campaign intervention because of an anti-war sermon preached on the eve of the 2004 election at All Saints Church in Pasadena. During the IRS investigation All Saints Church adamantly maintained that preaching an anti-war, anti-poverty and pro-choice sermon was political but NOT partisan, and therefore not a violation of the IRS code. After two years the IRS dropped the case.

Original Air Date: March 28th, 2018Oprah sits down with the Rev. Ed Bacon, a retired priest from the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles and the author of the book "8 Habits of Love." Saying that we often obscure our ability to identify grace in our lives, the Rev. Bacon reveals how to recognize grace in your life, especially during the toughest times. He tells Oprah that people operate from a place of either fear or love when it comes to their relationship with God and explains why he believes there is a bit of God in all of us and why we should embrace it. Plus, the Rev. Bacon offers a surprising and enlightening answer to the question of whether religion and spirituality can work together. Want more podcasts from OWN?

You may be familiar with him from his Super Soul Sunday radio series and his popular interview with Oprah from over ten years ago. Whether or not you've heard him--or of him--Reverend Ed Bacon has a second mountain message we could all use in our lives.The Reverend was ordained an Episcopal priest after serving as Mercer University's Minister to Students and Dean of Students as a Southern Baptist minister. He was dean of the cathedral in Jackson, Ms. and rector of churches in Dalton, Georgia and Pasadena, California from which he “retired” in 2016. He says he flunked retirement in 2018 when he became interim rector at St. Luke's, Atlanta where he had been ordained in 1983. He and his wife, Hope, moved to Hoover, Alabama in 2016 to be near their grandchildren. Now he travels, teaching how our Oneness in Love overcomes our fear-based separateness. He expresses this spiritual way of life in his book, 8 Habits of Love. His missions also include creation care including helping to save the Pando forest in southern Utah, interspirituality, healing grief and trauma, and dismantling systems of all forms of bigotry and oppression.Today, he shares with us is the inspiring and challenging depths we can get to on a regular basis if we're able to get still with ourselves. The wisdom, the ability to let go of our egoic fears, and hold on to the things that we say we value, are all a part of the message and ideas he shares with us today.Time Stamps:What does living in your big self mean to you? 3:28The ego and its purpose.Making decisions based on ego strength. 9:09Stillness is a superpower. 14:52The ocean metaphor.Advice for the average person who hears this message. 19:50How to become more aware of distractions.How to make yourself still and quiet.How stillness opens up the learner's mindset. 22:50The difference between fear and love.The difference between the learner's mind and the learners mind. 28:18Community and practicing the habit of community.Thomas Merton and community. 33:11One of history's greatest spiritual revelations, the "Louisville Epiphany."Community is the root of unity.The sweetness of the second mountain. 38:20Habits of love are interconnected.The sweetness of the second mountain.Stillness and the gift of stillness. 44:35Show Notes:His 2012 interview with OprahTwitter: @RevEdBaconFacebook:...

Peter & Nathan welcome a very special guest: the Rev'd Ed Bacon: legendary leader of progressive Christian causes, retired rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, and inveterate Sondheim fan. With Ed's help, we pull apart the spirituality, theology (and the trichology!) of what is probably Stephen Sondheim's best-known (and arguably best-loved) musical, the 1987 masterpiece Into the Woods. We talk about: - The subversive nature of fairy tales, and what we think we're doing when we tell these stories to children - What it means to go “into the woods” – and how can we befriend it? - Being nice, being good, losing our innocence – and what it means to be "white" - The complicated nature of community, and the promise and threat of the idea that "no one is alone" - The Gospel as Fairy Tale (with apologies and gratitude for Frederick Buechner's Telling the Truth, the book that caused at least one of us to become a priest!) You'll hear: - Bernadette Peters, Chip Zien, Joanna Gleason and the cast of the Original Broadway Cast Recording (1987) singing “Prologue,” “Giants in the Sky,” “Hello, Little Girl,” “I Know Things Now,” “No One Is Alone”, “Last Midnight,” and “Children Will Listen” Continue the conversation with Peter (@pgeinvan) and Nathan (@nathan_lerud) on Twitter, and follow the Gospel of Musical Theatre on Instagram or Twitter @gospelofmt.

There is no moving up and out in the world unless we are fully acquainted with the person we are meant to be. Whatever our calling, it’s already rooted within, and while those roots may get trampled on or tugged at, they can never be removed. They grow stronger only when tended, nurtured and most importantly, shared with others. In this Super Soul conversation, Oprah Winfrey sits down with such inspired writers and thinkers as Nate Berkus, Brian Grazer, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Tracy Morgan, Sister Joan Chittister, the Rev. Ed Bacon, RuPaul Charles, Glennon Doyle, President Joe Biden and Pastor Wintley Phipps. Each share individual stories of what it was like to tap into their own roots and wellsprings of talent to discover their greater purpose and deeper levels of fulfillment. Interviews with these talented writers, speakers and thought leaders are excerpted from Oprah’s Emmy Award-winning show Super Soul Sunday. You can also find this compilation, and other insightful conversations, in Oprah’s best-selling book The Path Made Clear.

When Hope Hendricks met Ed Bacon met she was on her way to a career as a speech pathologist and he to a career as an attorney. All that changed when God came knocking, and we are so lucky it did because she opened her heart and her mind and they started a beautiful journey that allowed them to both change thousands of lives for the better with love. Originally from the south, in 2016, they left All Saints Church in Pasadena where he was rector for over 20 years to return to the area. With a home in Birmingham, AL but a full time gig in Atlanta, they straddle both cities, and are doing their best to "evolve forward" as Ed calls it, through the classism, racism, through this pandemic, through the political dissension. We are all in what Rev. Ed calls Pandemic University, and now amidst the George Floyd murder and protests, we are all being handed some very trying classes which he and Hope both help guide us through with a heavy dose of love and laughter. You will hear about their relationship, how they navigate with love through even the difficult times weathering internal and external storms with a lot of grace...and laughter. This interview dives deep but it also grabs your heart and promises to lift you up, up, up during these very trying times. Rev. Ed's book (which Oprah Winfrey loved and celebrated) also couldn't be a more timely and helpful read. Get it now wherever you buy your books for a major uplift for your heart and soul: You will hear Rev. Ed speak about the event of June 1st with Dr. Catherine Meeks.

We live in increasingly divisive times. From politics to sports, the gift of human difference can quickly become a chasm of serious discord and division. What does it mean for good Christians to disagree? How do we do so faithfully? Should Christians protest? How should they do so? In this episode we get answers from two prominent and in many ways, opposing camps. Social activist Ed Bacon believes Christians should be at the cutting edge of social protest. Ethicist Stanley Hauerwas believes Christians best shine their light by living faithful lives, as people distinct from the world. Their views come to light in these four sessions: Finding Christ in Conflict The Nature of Dissent Witness and Dissent How We Dissent
Don't miss today's clip of the upcoming Supersoul Sunday, in which we get the bigger picture on today's top global headlines from Oprah, Rev. Ed Bacon, Elizabeth Lesser & Mark Nepo. And for our discussion today: There are many names for the divine including, the Jewish tetragrammaton YHVY; ‘elohiym, ‘el and Jehovah; the Hindu Brahman, the Islamic Allah; the Bahá'í Baha; the Zoroastrian Ahura Mazda and others. We seem to have a need to name the divine. Well our guest today, Rabbi Wayne Dosick tells us that none of the names we know from the Bible for God are enough. Rather, he says, the real name of God leads to the revolutionary revelation of both the God of the universe and the inner God of breath and soul. Combining scholarship with the sacred and challenging long-held comfortable beliefs, the Rabbi's latest book entitled, “The Real Name of God: Embracing the Full Essence of the Divine” reveals what he calls the real name for God—a name that unites us in a new way. Don't miss it.
