Rollie Stanich joins Layman Pascal and Bruce Alderman to talk about his new book, Integral Christianity: The Way of Embodied Love.  Rollie talks about the evolution of his own thought and spirituality, through Western and Eastern paths, and how he came "home" again to a life in Christ; how other religions and traditions can serve as lamps along the way for one's own; the nature of Christ and the Christian injunction; Jesus' mindset and worldspace, and the fractal resonance of exemplars at the leading edge of any period of history; the history of the early Church; the Christian life through all the quadrants and states; and what it means to see as Christ saw, to pray as Christ prayed, to love as Christ loved, and to do the things Christ did, and more.  Rollie Stanich grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He was awarded the University of Calgary's highest scholarship for four consecutive years, and graduated with distinction from the Faculty of Management in 1990. He taught at the University's Faculty of Continuing Education for several years, then worked for ten years in software development in Montreal. Rollie assisted with the early development of the Integral Naked website and joined Integral Institute as the site's Managing Editor in 2004. A year later, he was appointed to his present position as Chief Facilitator of Integral Spiritual Center. He co-organized numerous ISC seminars on Integral Buddhism and Integral Christianity and the ISC Teachers' Gatherings of 2005, 2006, and 2007. Rollie presented on the work of James Fowler and Ken Wilber at the third ISC Teachers' Gathering, and is a frequent teacher at Boulder Integral, Denver's Buddhist/Christian Interfaith Group, and at Integral Salons and seminars across the U.S. and Canada. Rollie's spiritual path is that of contemplative Christianity. He is a practitioner of Centering Prayer and a longtime student of Fr. Thomas Keating. He co-wrote and co-produced the 2008 Integral Life DVD The Future of Christianity, and is the author of Integral Christianity: The Way of Embodied Love.
