Further Information:

鈥淲asting time with God鈥 is one definition of mysticism; for others, it鈥檚 a highly suspect, self-obsessed聽 practice beginning with 鈥榤ist鈥, putting 鈥業鈥 firmly in the middle, and ending in 鈥榮chism鈥!

So what exactly is a mystic, and what practical benefit can there be to a mystical approach to spirituality?

For Pentecost,聽 Mary Stallard discusses mysticism with a panel of guests, and speaks to the remarkable woman who gave up a successful career in publishing to pursue a quite different pathway as聽a charity worker, and to an Anglican theologian who finds his most mystical experience occurs when improvising jazz on his saxophone.聽
