“Faith is not the clinging to a shrine
but an endless pilgrimage of the heart.”
~ Abraham Joshua Heschel
Join us on A Pilgrimage of the Heart as we explore the practices and teaching of five 14th-century English mystics. Walter Hilton, Richard Rolle, Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, and the unknown author of The Cloud of Unknowing form a holy fellowship. A fellowship we can join.
We join them not only by reading their works but by making our own journeys, like they did, into the hill country of the Spirit. Like them, we can seek treasures, too. The treasures of the God experience. We can seek and find the gift of God’s golden love poured into our hearts. A sense of connection to something larger than our life’s immediate concerns.
“Come and see.”
~ John 1:39
This study module will be led by our beloved formation student Troy and draws upon a book written by one of our guest preachers, The Rev'd Dr Kevin Goodrich OP:
Described as "a lively, devotional, and practical guide to the teachings of the 14th century English Mystical Tradition" the book introduces readers to the most well-known mystics and spiritual writers of this period. It is available on Amazon in both hardcover and Kindle format.
For those who may choose not to buy the book, the sessions will include some exerpts and material, so you can come as you are if you would rather not do reading outside of our study space.
