Together, Colleen and Mark have embraced the role of students, exploring contemplative practice and meditation from diverse perspectives, and our guest in this episode is offering us some profound insights into the wisdom of the mystics within the Christian perspective.We are honored to ‘sit at the feet' of Dr James Finley, a student of Thomas Merton and also a clinical psychologist. Jim teaches how connecting to our divine indwelling can transcend fear and shame, and awaken us to our true self. He is a faculty member at the Center of Action and Contemplation.Jim has authored numerous books, including Merton's Palace of Nowhere, The Contemplative Heart, and Christian Meditation. He also hosts the Center for Action and Contemplation's podcast, Turning to the Mystics.Join us in exploring the way contemplative practices, particularly within the Christian mystical tradition, opens us up to a unitive experience of God's presence in all aspects of life, transforming both suffering and the ordinary into expressions of extraordinary grace.Find out more about Dr. James Finley:On the CAC website: https://cac.org/about/our-teachers/james-finley/The Turning to the Mystics podcast: https://cac.org/podcast/turning-to-the-mystics/To connect further with us:Visit our website: www.contemplativeoutreach.orgFind us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prayerofconsentLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/prayerofconsentCheck out our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@prayerofconsentOr explore our Threads: https://www.threads.net/@prayerofconsentTo learn more about Father Thomas Keating's guidelines for service and principles visit www.contemplativeoutreach.org/vision. Stream and Download the Opening Minds, Opening Hearts Podcast NOW for FREE on Apple Podcast, Google, Amazon and Spotify!

The Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost: St. Francis SundayExplore the life and legacy of Saint Francis of Assisi, one of the greatest spiritual figures in history. Known for his deep connection to nature, Francis embraced a life of radical simplicity and joy, seeing all creation as a reflection of divine love. His commitment to living as Christ lived challenges us to detach from worldly constraints and embrace a life of generosity, community, and peace. Through his eyes, we are reminded that even in a broken world, we can be a beacon of hope, love, and joy.#episcopal #episcopalchurch #episcopalian #church #jesusmovement #wayoflove #christian #anglican #allarewelcome #christianity #prayer #jesus #iglesiaepiscopal   #theology #anglicanchurch #holyspririt #faith #stmarksnewcanaaan #ens #ecct #spirituality #bible #scriptures #joy #peace #grace #hope

Sylvia Clute is a self-described "legal system innovator" and "social justice change agent".  Her bona fides and honors are extensive.  She is the author of several books.  Her new book "Unitive Justice - "Bending the Arc of Justice Towards Love" - is due out soon.  She has made it her life's mission to push for a shift from a punitive justice system to a unitive one.  She is leading the first Unitive Justice International Conference October, 2 - 4, 2023 in Richmond, Va.   Sara Daves is a manifest and purpose coach and author who was determined to find her path and purpose after the loss of her son.  She witnessed a broken justice system first hand when her son Trey was forced to plead guilty to a crime he did not commit only to pass away just six weeks after his release.  Sara committed herself to "helping others learn to create strong, loving relationships with themselves and reclaim their lives from trauma and the broken social systems that perpetuate painful cycles." Our conversation ranges from defining unitive justice, how and why it works, a for-profit prison system that perpetuates itself, and Sara's work in Uganda where she helped build the first unitive justice school named after her son, Trey.   Links:  Sylvia Clute Sara Daves Unitive Justice International Conference Alliance For Unitive Justice Good Eye Podcast A brief description of unitive justice vs. punitive justice:  Unitive justice and punitive justice are two distinct approaches to the concept of justice, each with its own principles and goals.   Unitive justice, also known as restorative justice focuses on repairing the harm caused by a wrongdoing and restoring relationships between individuals or communities. The primary emphasis is on healing, reconciliation, and addressing the underlying causes of the conflict or harm. Unitive justice seeks to involve all stakeholders, including the victim, offender, and community, in a collaborative process to find solutions that address the harm and prevent future incidents. Punitive justice, also known as retributive justice, is the traditional approach to justice that focuses on punishing offenders for their wrongdoing as a means of retribution and deterrence. The primary goal of punitive justice is to impose penalties that are proportionate to the offense committed, with the intention of providing a sense of justice to victims and deterring potential offenders. Unitive justice prioritizes healing, reconciliation, and the restoration of relationships, whereas punitive justice emphasizes punishment as a means of retribution and deterrence.

Today we are delving into a complex and sensitive topic – infertility and IVF. The statistics suggest about one in seven couples will be unable to conceive without some kind of medical intervention, and the most popular form of reproductive treatment is in vitro fertilisation – IVF. Partly because infertility is such a painful time for many of those experiencing it, we don't talk about it much. The same is also true of IVF, even though today in some places the procedure now accounts for as many as five per cent of all births. In this episode we wanted to consider how infertility interacts with both church culture and broader society, for good or ill, and then examine the complicated ethical questions raised by IVF treatment. Some links which may be helpful for Christians who are experiencing infertility: Saltwater and Honey - a collection of voices sharing their stories about infertility, miscarriage, childlessness and faith, plus lots of resources The Rhythm of Hope - an annual retreat and community for Christian couples Waiting for Children - a course which many churches around the UK run, including HTB who are running it online John's book Matters of Life and Death also has several chapters exploring infertility and reproductive technology.

This chapter explores the relationship between church unity and revival. Does renewal and or revival produce more division or more unity in the church? How can we best respond to the call to unity and, at the same time, the call to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the Saints? Today Peter Fiore joins me as we dig into Chapter 10 in Lovelace's book, The Dynamics of Spiritual Renewal.
