What Difference Does Trinity Make? (Richard Rohr)

What Difference Does Trinity Make?

Richard Rohr, OFM

Since the Trinity is Mystery, it is often passed over as something that we could never understand, nor should we try. Not so, says Fr. Richard Rohr, in this teaching at the 2004 Religious Education Congress. “This is it, this sums up everything that I have experienced. The Blessed Trinity is the central, paramount, and foundational doctrine of our entire belief system. How is it possible that the Heart of God is not a central part of pastoral care?”

This introductory talk is a ‘circling around’ this Mystery that we do need to understand. It is necessary to approach this mystery with humility, using metaphor. God is the Dance itself, and we are part of it. This becomes participatory knowledge from within. Explore this Mystery through this engaging teaching.

This one-hour introductory talk serves as a stand-alone item, or you also can find it as the first talk in the deeper, four-talk set, “The Divine Dance.”  

Approximate length:60minutes.
