Contemporary theologian, mystic and author Father Richard Rohr discusses his new book,\xa0The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For, and Believe.\xa0A Franciscan friar for more than 40 years and founder of\xa0The Center for Action and Contemplation\xa0in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Father Rohr shares why he believes the essential function of religion is to radically connect humanity with the world around us, and why \u201cChrist\u201d is another name for everything. He also explains true enlightenment as looking out from oneness and how these realizations can transform the way we live in our everyday world.
