Now Available: Season 3 of Love Period with Jacqui Lewis

On the third season of the acclaimed podcast Love Period, Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis gathers a cadre of writers, parents, and activists looking for common threads of wisdom as they survive and thrive in these traumatic times. What wisdom and insight do their experiences have for each of us? And, as always, Rev. Jacqui is asking, "What's fierce love got to do with it?"

Do you yearn for a new vision of Christianity — one with love and justice at the core of its practice? Rev. Jacqui animates a renewed faith for our times in her new podcast Love Period. Writer, scholar, activist, and leader of a radically accepting congregation in New York City, Rev. Jacqui brings her devotion, clarity, and energy to this conversational podcast.

The Future of Christianity Live Recording Now Available on YouTube

Thank you to those who participated in our live virtual summit, The Future of Christianity! We appreciate your thoughtful presence at this discussion on the current state and future of the Christian religion.

The work of nurturing contemplative consciousness in the world is more important now than ever. By introducing seekers to the Christian path of transformation, we believe that the CAC can become a catalyzing force for change of consciousness within Christianity and each of our communities.

This work invites each of us to play a part — a whole body, a whole community, a whole movement of people grounded in shared vision, values, and an experiential knowing of God’s presence in our life showing up in the world together.

Thanks to the generosity of the summit participants, we were able to share this content more broadly by livestreaming a portion of the event to YouTube for free.

Thank you for helping us to reach the next generation of spiritual seekers! We encourage you to share this URL with anyone you feel might benefit from this discussion.

A Gift for the Next Generation: New Partnership to Support Future Giving

The CAC appreciates all the people and partners who help us support a long-term shift in consciousness towards a more loving, just, and connected world. We believe that there is a deep relationship between the inner revolution of prayer and the transformation of systems and social structures. This is an enduring project with multi-generational implications. The confidence we have for the future of this work is made possible by partnerships and participation of our generous donors.

CAC has recently partnered with an organization to provide a new and easy-to-use resource to help our donors make a gift supporting the next generation. One of best ways that many donors are supporting the future of CAC is by making a charitable allocation in their will or trust.

Having an up-to-date will can be an important way to align your resources with your deepest values to provide for your loved ones and the projects you care most about.

Learn more about CAC’s future and how to make a gift for the next generation.
