Spirituality

"Universal spiritual insights from five religious traditions"--Cover.

Reflections and musings from a former monastic, designed to help readers find their bearings in the life of the Spirit today. With humour and sensitivity they encourage us to stand back and let the fresh wind of the Spirit blow in our lives.

Shows how religious traditions emerge from and converge on a divine nature and mystic quality that creates a loving heart. The author describes this phenomenon in her own experience and elaborates on that mystical core, the notion of the divine, the shape of interreligious dialogue, and the personal, spiritual, and ethical challenges it poses.

Presenting a collection of essays written after the author's visits to several pilgrimage sites in the United Sates, Central America, and Europe, this book includes reflections on pilgrimages he has led, primarily while teaching at Duke University Divinity School. It is structured around the stages of a pilgrimage.
