The Bigger Picture: All About the Rev. Ed Bacon

Posted: Wed 05/22/2013 12:00 AM

This Sunday, Oprah and three of her favorite thinkers—the Rev. Ed Bacon, Elizabeth Lesser and Mark Nepo—are taking a look at our world and current events through a different lens. It's a special we're calling "The Big Picture". Today, get to know the Rev. Ed Bacon!

About "Rev. Ed"
The Rev. Ed Bacon is the rector—or "chief spiritual officer"—of All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California, a congregation actively engaged in issues such as resistance to war, ending the death penalty and supporting equal rights for gays and lesbians. A passionate advocate for peace and justice, the Rev. Ed's energies focus on leadership in anxious times, peacemaking, interfaith relations, articulating the Christian faith in nonbigoted ways and integrating family, faith and work systems. 

The Rev. Ed's Teachable Moments

How to Forgive
When you learn how to forgive, the Rev. Ed says you will know a new degree of freedom, power, energy and even find a new future. 





Coping with Conflict
Criticism isn't always easy to take, but the Rev. Ed says how you handle it can be an important step in learning how to relate to others. 





Finding Grace in Uncertain Times
The Rev Ed. says fear often obscures our ability to identify grace in our lives, especially during times of unrest. Learn how to recognize it when times get tough.





The Life-Saving Power of Hope
It's the Rev. Ed's favorite story of hope. Find out what happens when a retired schoolteacher  volunteers to teach young children at a local hospital.
