November
2002: Bookmark distributed by CAC with a fundraising letter, describing
its new labyrinth. |
The CAC Labyrinth of the Dancing Christ
is not problematic for being a labyrinth, per
se, but for the way it has been presented to the spiritual pilgrim.
The CAC offers its labyrinth walkers seven “messages,” such as:
·
Bless
each season of your life. There
is no one, correct lesson or message.
·
Like
the labyrinth, life is not about
‘doing it right. It’s about ‘doing it.
·
Like
the labyrinth, life is not a
straight line nor is it even a clear spiral toward the center. |

Dec/Jan
1998: Radical Grace,
“Reclaiming the Lost Gospel” on ecotheology by Senator Tom Hayden,
reprinted from The Lost Gospel of the Earth, Sierra Club Books. |
Hayden believes that the
“next wave of environmentalism must include a passionate, spiritual
alternative…We need a new gospel (or Torah) of the Earth to make our
religious traditions relevant to the environmental crisis, and to provide
the philosophical and spiritual basis for the evolutionary leap we must
make for our quality of life to survive.”

July-Sept.
2002 Radical Grace, “A Cosmic
Christ” by Richard Rohr.
|
Rohr writes: “Only a truly
cosmic Christ is adequate to the breadth of our problems and the depth of
our hopes today….I personally do not believe that Jesus came to found a
separate religion- as much as he came to present a universal message of
vulnerability and foundational unity that is necessary for all religions,
the human soul, and history itself to survive.”
