For this issue of Conversations, “Mysticism and Divine Awareness,” from the archives of 2008, we summoned the voices of ancient and modern day mystics—desert fathers and mothers, church historians, and even those who don’t find themselves ‘swimming in this stream’ often. It’s full of articles and interviews that will bring clarity and some spiritual insight into how others, and hopefully you dear reader, can become more aware of the Divine in your ordinary life.
In addition, Joannah Sadler has summarized Heather Parkinson-Webb’s article, Reading the Mystics as Spiritual Formation, and provided a few questions and exercises to help us unpack and apply the theme.
