Thomas Keating was a Cistercian monk who founded the worldwide 'Contemplative Outreach', teaching people the art of meditation. Invitation to Love provides a road map for the journey that begins when Centering Prayer is seriously undertaken. Pointing to some of the recognizable landmarks on this journey, as well as to its ultimate destination, Father Keating addresses common questions regarding contemplative practice: How will it affect my life? Where does it lead us spiritually? What obstacles will I encounter along the way? How does it work?

The talks on which this book was based were given at the John Main Seminar in 1998, the annual international event of the World Community for Christian Meditation. Previous presenters have included the Dalai Lama, Jean Vanier, Bede Griffiths, and William Johnston. A monk reflects on Scripture in the light of experience. He or she utters a word that startles his listeners into realizing that tradition is not a matter of second-hand experience but the living and human self-transmission of Christ to his disciples.

Die Berichte über Missbrauchsfälle in der katholischen Kirche reißen nicht ab. Über die schleppende Aufarbeitung wird hitzig diskutiert, die Anzahl der Kirchenaustritte erreicht immer neue, traurige Rekorde. Die Opfer treten kaum in der Öffentlichkeit auf, zu tief sitzen oftmals Schmerz und Scham. Jetzt bricht der ehemalige Ministrant Martin Schmitz das Schweigen. Auch er hat einen langen Leidensweg hinter sich und wurde jahrelang von einem pädokriminellen Priester missbraucht.

Andreas Sturm war seit Jahren einer der mächtigsten Kirchenmänner Deutschlands. Generalvikar in Speyer, verantwortlich für Tausende von Mitarbeitenden und für einen Millionenetat. Und er war immer stärker das Gesicht einer reformfähigen Kirche, bezog mutig Stellung zu Themen wie den Segnungen von homosexuellen Beziehungen oder dem Zölibat. Ein Hoffnungsträger, der aber selbst keine Hoffnung mehr hat. Und deshalb konsequent handelt: Andreas Sturm tritt aus der Kirche aus, weil er an Veränderung nicht mehr glauben kann.
