About this episode

Richard Rohr, in conversation with Brie Stoner and Paul Swanson, continue the journey through the 7 Themes of the Alternative Orthodoxy. The second theme of the Alternative Orthodoxy is foundational for understanding the remaining themes:   If God is Trinity and Jesus is the face of God, then it is a benevolent

universe. God is not someone to be afraid of, but is the Ground of Being and on our side.  This second theme lays the groundwork for relating to the shape of God within the Alternative Orthodoxy. Join us as we share personal stories that elucidate this theme, nuance the theological language, and seek understanding in how this fits within an evolutionary perspective.  The transcript for this episode can be found here.
