Upcoming Evening Theology Class
Disrupting Times: When History meets Mysticism
Join the Rev. Dr. Robert D. Flanagan, who teaches Christian Spirituality at General Seminary, as he shares his passion for the Golden Age of Mysticism during an Evening Theology Class on Wednesday March 27, April 3 and 10 from 6:30 to 8:00pm.
The Fourteenth-Century was a time of momentous change and disruption. It was also a period of great spiritual discovery. The stark contrasts between the technological, environmental, and societal upheaval and the profound experiences of the century’s mystics make it a fascinating time for us to explore.
Over the course of three sessions, you will learn about the similarities the fourteenth-century has to our time and engage with prominent mystical voices from the era, also known as the Golden Age of Mysticism. We will read about and discuss the seminal events of the time and read and contemplate the pragmatic writings of several fourteenth-century mystics.
To attend, all you need is a curious mind and a desire to deepen your knowledge of history and your understanding of mysticism.
The course will be held in Andrew Hall for Mar. 27 and Apr 3, and the Fifth Floor of the Parish House for April 10.
Please contact Father Moretz at [email protected] to RSVP.
