Poorer, Poorer. Smaller, Smaller. Slower, Slower.

Bob Sabath, one of Sojourners' founding members, looks back on 40 years of creating community. "It takes a contemplative mind to see one’s own inner contradictions, the failures and inherent betrayals within our own lives and the institutions that we help to create," he says.

"Be anything you want. Be madmen, drunks, and bastards of every shape and form. But at all costs avoid one thing: success."

The Stories That Make Us: An Intergenerational Gathering of Men

Reinhold Neibuhr once said, ‘Nothing worth doing can be accomplished in a single lifetime.’  Good and heroic men are generations in the making—cradled in the hearts and initiated in the arms of fathers who were cradled in the hearts and initiated in the arms of their fathers.

Woven together, stories are the very fabric of our lives.  They tell us from where we came, speak of who we are, and dare to utter what we may become.  There is great power in the telling and retelling of our stories, vast potential for healing, growth and transformation.  Join Fr. Richard Rohr, Belden Lane, and Joel Blunk for a weekend of telling the stories that make us./p>

On the Edge of the Inside

The edge is a holy place, or as the Celts called it, "a thin place" and you have to be taught how to live there.  To take your position on the spiritual edge of things is to learn how to move safely in and out, back and forth, across and return. It is a prophetic position, not a rebellious or antisocial one.

One is struck in the study of saints, angels, and gods by a pattern that seems quaint and harmless, yet it is so common that I know there must be a deeper meaning. There always seem to be guardians and spirits of doors, bridges, exits, and entranceways. I saw it all over Asia, read about in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and am familiar with it in Greek mythology, guardian angels, and Catholic saints like St. John Nepomuk, St. Christopher, and even St. Peter.
