Oneing: Order, Disorder, Reorder

Established in 2013, ONEING is the biannual journal of the Center for Action and Contemplation. Renowned for its diverse and deep exploration of mysticism and culture, ONEING is grounded in Richard Rohr’s teachings and wisdom lineage. Each issue features a themed collection of thoughtfully curated essays and critical perspectives from spiritual teachers, activists, modern mystics, and prophets of all religions. 

This issue of Oneing brings together the faculty of the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC). These marvelous, unique thinkers work collectively to teach the rich concepts of “Order, Disorder, Reorder”—the theme of this issue. In his article “Include and Transcend,” Fr. Richard Rohr describes the often-recurring pattern of order, disorder, reorder “in both people and systems.” Rohr then offers an outline “which illustrates how the great spiritualties and philosophies often taught this quite directly, but with different vocabularies, symbols, and metaphors.” CAC’s other faculty members—Cynthia Bourgeault, James Finley, Barbara Holmes, and Brian McLaren—contribute articles that address and/or incorporate Rohr’s concept within the context of their unique perspectives.

This issue features contributions from Thich Nhat Hanh, Richard Rohr, Cynthia Bourgeault, James Finley, Kirsten Oates, Barbara Holmes, and Brian McLaren.
