Thank you for joining us for ACIM Radio! In this first episode, Circle Founder Robert Perry and Executive Director Emily Bennington discuss the Circle of Atonement’s ethos of representing A Course in Miracles as accurately as possible and how this is rooted in our view that the Course really was written by Jesus and represents a restatement in contemporary language of his unique message from long ago.
