LENTEN BOOK STUDY (In Person)

Exploration of Julian of Norwich

Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love is truly an astounding work: An inspired example of Christian mysticism, a unique contribution to Christian Theology, the first book in English known to have been written by a woman.  But it can also be daunting work! Veronica Mary Rolf, who has been studying Julian’s text for decades, serves as a trustworthy guide for readers willing to take up and read Julian’s work. We will engage the text in our own settings in-between sessions, and then take time for reflection together and in solitude during our weekly gatherings. Learn more.

Plan to soak in that word with each other and with our holy and gracious God for the entire weekend at the Hilton Doubletree in South Myrtle Beach, January 28-30, 2022.  Learn more.

Adding a distinctive emphasis on the active engagement issuing naturally from contemplative practice, she expands the classic threefold path of purgation, illumination, and union to its graced fruit of love expressed in the world. . . . May this book further God’s dream for open-hearted human participation in the divine life permeating this world.”
