In dialogue with artists, activists, and faith leaders, such as actor Titus Burgess, Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, Mark Charles, V Ensler, and many others, Dr. Lewis reveals the transformative potential—and urgent need—for radical love in our times.

Learn About Our Values-Based Financial Model
As the CAC continues to grow in resources through generous financial support, we wondered: How do we meet our financial needs from a place of love? We learned our financial decisions must consider both our organizational health and our responsibility to the common good.
This drive led us to establish a new financial philosophy, which embodies our commitment to align our financial decisions with our organizational values and spiritual lineage.
Our new financial model captures Fr. Richard’s theological themes around money, operational implications around our financial resources, and the CAC’s key financial principles.
Financial Principles
- We operate from a clear definition of “enough.”
- We practice transparency.
- We seek for money to never be the barrier to participation.
- We understand exchanges of money first and foremost as vehicles for advancing our mission and message.
- We commit to spend simply, equitably, and sustainably.
- We lead with giving and generosity.
Where we now stand as an organization is just the beginning. We have big plans. Finding the right set of questions seems the best place to discern what comes next. We look forward to sharing the outcomes and impacts of this journey with you.
