God is not what you think.  Visions of an angry, distant, moral scorekeeper or a supernatural Santa Claus handing out cosmic lottery tickets to those who attend the right church or say the right prayer dominate our culture.  For many others, God has become irrelevant or simply unbelievable.
 
In The Divine Dance, Fr. Richard Rohr (with Mike Morrell) points readers to an unlikely opening beyond this divinity impasse: the
at-times forgotten, ancient mystery of the Trinity– God as utterly one, yet three.

 
Drawing from Scripture, theology, and the deepest insights of mystics, philosophers, and sages throughout history, Fr. Rohr presents a compelling alternative to aloof and fairytale versions of God: One God, belovedly in communion, as All-Vulnerable, All-Embracing, and All-Given to you and me. 

There is no cost for this program, but pre-registration is encouraged.  A Free will offering is appreciated.
