The Rebirthing of God: Christianity’s Struggle for New Beginnings, by John Philip Newell
Book Study: 8 weeks on Zoom, March 7 - April 25
Description: “Within us—as a sheer gift of God—is the capacity to bring forth what…has never been imagined before. Above all else, as Julian [of Norwich, the 14th century Christian mystic] says, the love-longings of God are at the heart of our being…. We may live in tragic exile from these longings, or we may have spent a whole lifetime not knowing how to truly satisfy them, but they are there at the heart of our being, waiting to be born afresh.”
So begins this incisive look by John Philip Newell into the intersection between the ancient Celtic experience of God and our modern yearning for union.
