New CD Set Available:
Going Deeper Into the Mystery
of Christ (5 CD Set) - live recording

In this teaching series Cynthia emphasizes the importance of renewing our understanding of the Cosmic Christ who is an icon of unitive coherence as witnessed in the Pauline texts of the Bible. She uncovers the theme of the awakening of non-dual perception in the scrolls of the Nag Hammadi, in 5th & 6th century Syriac texts and in the esoteric wisdom of the world’s religious traditions as well as in the contemporary Christian practice of Centering Prayer. Central to this perception is the kenotic path taught by Jesus. Kenotic, out-pouring love is at the heart of the Trinity and the Eucharist. Cynthia concludes with a discussion on practical ways we might live out this teaching.

A Solemn Liturgy of the Passion for Good Friday with a Biblical Passion Libretto
Cynthia Bourgeault, librettist; Cintra Pemberton, OSH, composer
Several years ago Cynthia created a new "libretto" for the Passion, strictly based in the Biblical narratives but combining them in a different way so that the unitive message becomes more clear. Sister Cintra Pemberton of the Episcopal Order of Saint Helena added music at key points in this text (easily accessible to congregational musicians) to provide a unique resource that stays close to Jesus' own understanding of the Passion as a healing and sacramental passage voluntarily undertaken as an act of conscious love.
