SPIRITUALITY AND THE TWO HALVES OF LIFE
Growth and discipleship have two distinct parts. We leave home at an early age and spend many years trying to find our way back. How do we get back home again? That’s the spiritual task for the first half of life. But, where do we go once we’re back home?
That’s the spirituality for the second half of life. No matter which half of life you’re in, you’ll gain new insights with the renowned author.Available in DVD format

THE TWO MAJOR TASKS OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE
Much personal and pastoral confusion results when we do not realize that in the first half of life we have to master self control, and in the second half of life we must give up control.
Those are two very different journeys, and we need guides to pass from one to the others. This talk given at the 2004 Religious Education Congress serves as a perfect intro to the Two Halves of Life.
Available in CD, and MP3 formats from Mustard Seed.
SPIRITUALITY FOR THE TWO HALVES OF LIFE
Richard Rohr, OFM and Paula D’Arcy
Both Richard and Paula believe that much personal and church confusion could be helped by clearly distinguishing the tasks of the two halves of life. Much of institutional religion is concerned with the tasks of the first half of life.
The need for adults is to move on to the tasks of the second half of life, which are much closer to the concerns of Jesus, Buddha and the mystics of all religions. Prepare for both stages to affirm and challenge you, and also recognize the immense implications for raising children and young people.
Available in CD format from Mustard Seed.
