What are 'gifted moments of spiritual insight'?
Friday 27 May 2022
“Progressive Christianity Network? But how progressive? Karl Rahner said that the Christianity of the future would be mystical or it would not be at all.
So we want to explore Mysticism – a thread that runs through most major religions and that was, I believe, the core of Jesus’ teaching. Yet the Church ignores it! What is Mysticism? Can anyone be a Mystic? What does it ask of us?
