On leaders stepping back
Richard Rohr has been an important and influential presence in my own spiritual journey over these past 10 or 15 years and although I have never met the man, I have visited the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, and every day I reflect on his teachings and practice through daily blog posts from the Center and through the vast library of Rohr’s works.
After several years of transition, Richard Rohr now seems to be fully released from his duties at the Center as he nears the end of his life, and this little video series is a lovely testament to how a leader-founder can let go into community with grace and trust.
As an elder transitioning into passing on the baton to others . I hear how issues change and knowledge can be dated. That is important as it gives me peace to recognize and accept a call to let go.
Thank be to God who offered us Richard as a mirror that reflects the light.
I am so grateful for Richard Rohr and this video demonstrates his humility and grace. Thanks for sharing.
