Exploring A Course in Miracles Holding Yourself Aloof from the Path (Sunday Gathering Sermon)
Have you ever felt like you're standing at a distance from your spiritual path—disengaged, resigned, or quietly doubting whether you're really up to the task?
In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Robert Perry explores one of the most beloved prayers in A Course in Miracles—the "Accepting the Atonement" prayer—and the powerful story behind it. Originally given to Bill Thetford as a direct response to his own disengagement from the Course, this prayer speaks to the passive ways we hold ourselves back from healing, love, and the return to God.
Drawing from rarely discussed guidance in the Course and newly uncovered context, Robert shows how Jesus lovingly called Bill out of his withdrawal and into full engagement with the path – and how he invites us to do the same.
