Something to reflect on \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CAC teaching themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Scripture as validated by experience<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, and experience as validated by Tradition are good scales for one\u2019s spiritual worldview (METHODOLOGY).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.<\/strong> If God is Trinity and Jesus is the face of God<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, then it is a benevolent universe. God is not someone to be afraid of, but is the Ground of Being and on our side (FOUNDATION).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.<\/strong> For those who see deeply there is only One Reality<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. By reason of the Incarnation, there is no truthful distinction between sacred and profane (FRAME).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.<\/strong> Everything belongs<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em> No one needs to be punished, scapegoated, or excluded. We cannot directly fight or separate ourselves from evil or untruth. Darkness becomes apparent when exposed to the Light (ECUMENICAL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. The \u201cseparate self\u201d is the major problem<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, not the shadow self which only takes deeper forms of disguise (TRANSFORMATION).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
