Reading Fellowship: Writings of the Christian MysticReading The Interior Castle with Teresa of Avila
In our final topic of this series on Writings of the Christian Mystics, we will be getting to know this 16th-century Spanish mystic through a work that is widely regarded as one of her masterpieces. Come join us as we explore the seven dwelling places within the castle which Teresa uses as a symbol for the interior life. "Perhaps one of the most striking features was her thoroughness, her wholeness. Her holiness brought her to such close union with God as a person can have in this world and such union really divinised her being. All the same she remained a full human personality with a sense for all little human business on earth, even with a very exquisite sense of humour." ~ extract from the preface ofThe Interior Castle, Teresa of Avila (The Classics of Western Spirituality) Dates: 05, 19 Sept; 03, 10 Oct (Mon evenings)
Time: 7:30 – 10pm Venue: CSF@Bethel Cost: Freewill Offering (except for purchase of book at cost) Closing date for registration: 29 Aug |
