Monastic Evangelicals
Christianity Today has posted an article about the growing interest, particularly among young evangelicals, in various aspects of monastic and liturgical spirituality, including Celtic spirituality. Click here to read it.
Dare we hope that Christian mysticism could be the next arena where evangelicals will go to deepen their faith?
Silence and Light
I just discovered that Flickr has a wonderful array of photographs (from a variety of photographers) shot at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, Georgia. Some of these photos are from a recent “spirituality and photography” retreat at the monastery; nearly all of them are breathtaking in their beauty. The photographs cover not only the awe-inspiring Abbey Church and adjacent buildings, but many also highlight the natural splendor of the monastery grounds.

Readers who are not familiar with the monastery will, I trust, nevertheless gain a sense from these photographs of why I love this place so much.
