In A Course in Miracles, Jesus invites us to think beyond his personal resurrection and even beyond our own — to a third and even greater vision: the resurrection of the entire world.

In this message from a recent Sunday Gathering, Emily Perry explores Section 28 of the Manual for Teachers, What Is the Resurrection?, where Jesus describes a future where everyone — every living heart — awakens, forgives, and returns home to God together.

You’ll learn what the resurrected world looks like, how we know we’re making progress toward it, and how our individual commitment to healing and forgiveness helps speed its arrival.

Along the way, Emily reflects on the lives of moral pioneers like Benjamin Lay, ACIM co-scribe Bill Thetford, and the heroes of the Montgomery Bus Boycott — those who stood for a new world long before it became visible to others.

Like them, and like Jesus himself, we are called to be early voices of the healed world. If we devote ourselves to forgiveness and love, we can shorten the time it takes for everyone to get home.

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week—a time that many of us remember with tradition and reverence. In the Gospel story, Jesus enters Jerusalem to shouts of “Hosanna!” as palm branches are laid at his feet. But A Course in Miracles invites us to see this moment in a new light—not just as the beginning of Jesus’ final days, but as the beginning of everyone’s spiritual journey home to God.

In this message, Robert Perry explores what Holy Week means through the lens of the Course. Rather than focusing on death and sacrifice, the Course shifts the message to forgiveness, innocence, and resurrection—not only for Jesus, but for each one of us… and especially for the people standing right beside us. What if the people in your life—yes, even the difficult ones—are walking their own sacred path to resurrection? What if you could either delay or speed their journey by the way you see and treat them? And what if, in offering them lilies instead of thorns, you were saving yourself as well?

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.

In a world that is increasingly consumed by fear, injustice, and division, many of us are left asking: What do we do with our anger? In this sermon from a recent Sunday Gathering, Emily Perry draws inspiration from Martin Luther King Jr.’s timeless message in “A Knock at Midnight” and explores how A Course in Miracles invites us to respond to anger in a spiritually-grounded way. Through practical insights and personal stories, we’ll look at:

• How conventional views of anger shape our thinking
• What the Course teaches about the roots of anger
• A 3-step healing process for transforming anger into love
• Why miracle-mindedness—not rage—is our true source of strength

If you’re feeling the darkness of our time and longing to be a light within it, this message is for you.

In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert & Emily Perry dive into the question so many of us are asking: How do we stay spiritually grounded in a world that feels increasingly unhinged? Drawing from Course teachings, Robert & Emily introduce a 3-step process for navigating these turbulent times with clarity, compassion, and conviction. This conversation challenges the idea that spiritual practice means disengagement from the world. Instead, it affirms that Course students are called to show up—clear-eyed, open-hearted, and rooted in love.

For many spiritual seekers, A Course in Miracles and the Bible seem like two completely different paths. And yet, the Course references the Bible more than anything else—with nearly 900 biblical quotes and allusions throughout its 2,000 pages. So what does the Course actually say about the Bible? How does it affirm, reinterpret, or even correct biblical teachings? And what does this mean for students of the Course today? In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Emily and Robert dive deep into:

• How the Course grants authority to the Bible—especially the Gospels
• Why Jesus urges students to read the Bible and examine his credentials
• The Course’s reinterpretation of key biblical passages (e.g., “Vengeance is Mine,” “God is not mocked”)
• How Jesus reframes the meaning of his crucifixion and resurrection
• The bigger picture: how the Course aims to recover the Bible’s true message of love

Whether you’ve struggled with the relationship between A Course in Miracles and the Bible or you’re just curious to learn more, this conversation is one of the most important we’ve ever had.

In this episode, Emily Perry explores the theme of Workbook Lesson 27 from A Course in Miracles: “Above all else I want to see.” [CE W-27:1] This lesson invites us to embrace a shift in perception, emphasizing the importance of seeing the world through spiritual vision rather than through the distorted lens of the ego. In this Sunday Gathering sermon, you’ll learn how the Course encourages us to “undo” our current way of seeing, how to “restore” the spiritual sight that already resides within us, and the vital role of determination in achieving the Course’s goal of spiritual vision.

This sermon was delivered at a recent Sunday Gathering, which is free and open to all and held on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month. We wholeheartedly invite you to join us for a future Sunday Gathering. To learn more and join, visit community.circleofa.org.

In this episode, Emily and Robert Perry from the Circle of Atonement reflect on what they learned from their recent 28-Day Relationship Challenge. This challenge, hosted for the members of the Circle's Course Companions community, focused on applying the ten characteristics of a spiritually advanced teacher of God from the Manual for Teachers of A Course in Miracles to transform relationships.

The challenge was inspired by the realization that when we want change in our relationships, we often focus on changing others rather than ourselves. Emily and Robert took on the task of embodying the Course's definition of a spiritually advanced teacher for 30 days, trusting the Course's methods and principles and letting go of the usual impulse to control.

Here, they share insights on how characteristics like trust, tolerance, gentleness, defenselessness, patience, and generosity can deeply impact how we show up in relationships. They discuss the challenges and rewards of applying these traits, such as how embracing defenselessness can bring peace to difficult situations or how practicing patience stems from trusting that the outcome is certain. Tune in for a deep dive into how these profound teachings can transform your relationships and lead to the ultimate goal of the A Course in Miracles curriculum: forgiveness.

Want to try the 28-Day Relationship Challenge yourself? The replays and handouts from the challenge are available in the Course Companions program. You can find more details at CourseCompanions.com.
