Learn about the English Mystics with Father Kevin Goodrich OP PhD, an Anglican Dominican brother and priest.
Walter Hilton is one of five mystical figures from 14th century England that continue to inspire people’s faith today. Learn about each mystic and how they can be a source of wisdom and encouragement for your own spiritual journey. Julian of Norwich, Walter Hilton (who attended Cambridge), Margery Kempe, Richard Rolle and the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing complement and contrast with one another, providing a rich tapestry of insight into the mystery of God and the pursuit of a relationship with Christ. This talk will include ample time for conversation. Led by Father Kevin Goodrich OP PhD, an American Anglican Dominican brother and priest, who has traveled the Western world, as a preacher and teacher, and is the author of the new book, “A Pilgrimage of the Heart: Walter Hilton and the English Mystical Tradition.”
Held at St. Benet’s Church, Cambridge, on Bene't's Street (across from Jack's Gelato!). The talk begins half an hour later than usual, on Saturday, October 19 at 11am.
Fr. Kevin Goodrich OP PhD is an American Anglican Dominican brother and priest. He’s known for his sense of humor, engaging preaching style, and ability to relate spiritual concepts to the everyday challenges of life. For ten years he combined parish work with an itinerant ministry of preaching and teaching across the Western world. He’s taught at Catholic and Protestant Universities, is a spiritual director, and has led retreats in many settings. He’s the author of the book, “A Pilgrimage of the Heart: Walter Hilton and The English Mystical Tradition.” For fun he enjoys a good laugh, the music of Dean Martin, and a quiet hiking trail.
