    Sunday Sermon: The Course's Simple Formula

    Feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of A Course in Miracles? You're not alone. From the moment we open the book, we often find ourselves searching for a clear, simple way to understand and explain its teachings. In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Robert Perry dives into Lesson 297, where the Course itself offers a "simple formula"—a single sentence broken into three short, practical, and memorable parts. Our Sunday Gatherings are open to all and take place each month on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 11 a.m. ET (4 p.m. UTC). We invite you to attend - and to bring a friend - to be in fellowship with other Course students. _________________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles. We are the publisher of the Complete and Annotated Edition of the Course (known as the “CE”), which is available as a paperback*, ebook*, and via Audible. Our work grows out of our commitment to be as faithful as possible to what A Course in Miracles says,  years of dedication to walking this path ourselves, and a desire to see the Course’s purpose realized in the lives of students and in the world.

    Peacemaking as a Spiritual Practice with Jer Swigart

    Here at the Circle we are actively seeking to engage in dialogue with Christian leaders because we believe there is much overlap between the values of A Course in Miracles students and those who identify as reconstructing Christians. Namely, we both want to bring forth a world that sides with love in accordance with the teachings of Jesus. This is why we are thrilled to be speaking with Jer Swigart, cofounder of Global Immersion, this week. Global Immersion is a nonprofit that focuses on equipping leaders - particularly those in the Christian church - to become peacemakers in the world. In this podcast, Jer and Emily Perry talk about making peacemaking a spiritual practice, applying peacemaking principles to real-world settings, dismantling harmful ideologies, healing Christian nationalism, and finding Jesus in the middle of the storm. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

    Why Does God Allow Suffering? (Sunday Gathering Sermon)

But this is also where A Course in Miracles can help, because the Course offers a series of teachings that - when you put them together - provide an answer to this long-standing question that actually makes sense. If you’ve ever wondered how a loving God could allow so much pain, you won’t want to miss this Sunday Gathering message from Emily Perry. Sunday Gatherings are free and open to all.

    Osheta Moore on Living Jesus' Love Ethic in a Divided World

    In this week’s episode, Emily Perry interviews her beautiful spiritual teacher and friend Osheta Moore for a powerful conversation on living Jesus' love ethic in a divided world. Emily and Osheta explore how practicing love, compassion, and radical kindness can heal our relationships and communities. They also dive into the concept of Shalom—God’s vision for the world, where everything is healed and whole—and how it aligns with the Course’s teachings on being an embodiment of God's love in all spaces. Osheta also shares her inspiring vision of modern beloved community, a vision that mirrors the Course’s call to unity, forgiveness, and recognizing the divine in everyone without exception. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.
