In his praise for “Crisis Contemplation,” Dr. Donald Bryant, Jr., writes, “If you or your community have been feeling the anxieties of the current global crises then this book is for you. Barbara Holmes spotlights the intersection of communal crisis and contemplation and illuminates how this journey may be the only path toward real transformation.”
“This book is not meant to be read cover to cover without pause. Contemplative moments will arise as you read it, as they did for me as I wrote it.” -Barbara A. Holmes, from the Preface of “Crisis Contemplation: Healing the Wounded Village”

One of the memories that remains strong from the CAC’s Conspire Retreat is the question voiced through Jacqui Lewis, Mirabai Starr, and Richard Rohr at the communion table: Whom does the grail serve?
During the CAC’s Conspire Retreat, Pat McCabe invited us to “Join in the continuity.”
