리처드 로어

**리차드 로어**(Richard Rohr, 1943~ )는 미국 가톨릭계의 프란치스칸 신부이자 영성가(spiritual teacher)로, 특히 현대 영성운동과 관상기도(contemplative prayer), 탈이분법적(non-dual) 신학을 강조하는 인물이다. 복음주의권에서는 다소 논쟁적이지만, 가톨릭과 에큐메니컬 진영에서 큰 영향력을 끼쳤다.
# 사상
1\. 신수도원 운동(New Monasticism) 고대 수도원 전통에서 영감을 받아 도시 빈민가에서 공동체 생활을 하며 예수의 가르침을 실천. 필라델피아에 더 심플 웨이(The Simple Way)라는 공동체를 설립(1997). 자발적 가난, 나눔, 평화, 환대, 사회정의를 강조. 2\. 비폭력과 평화주의 군사주의와 전쟁을 강하게 비판하며, 예수의 산상수훈을 따라 철저한 비폭력을 주장. 데즈몬드 투투, 마더 테레사, 톰 라이트 등의 영향을 받음. 3\. 사회정의와 빈민운동 교회가 제도적 성장보다 가난한 자, 소외된 자, 약자를 섬기는 삶에 집중해야 한다고 주장. 미국 내 사형제 폐지 운동, 빈민 주거권 운동, 총기 규제 캠페인 등 참여. 4\. 복음주의에 대한 비판적 충실성 전통적 복음주의 교리(예수 그리스도의 중심성, 성경의 권위 등)는 유지하지만, 정치적 보수주의·자본주의적 탐욕·교회의 제도화에는 비판적. 흔히 급진 복음주의자(Radical Evangelical)로 불림.
