The Holy Ordinary with Mark Longhurst
Thursday, October 24 at 7pm ET
Online
You are warmly invited to join us for an engaging online conversation with Community of the Incarnation member Mark Longhurst, author of The Holy Ordinary, a new book that explores the availability of every person to a contemplative life. Taking inspiration from mystics, modern prophets, and saints, with surprising insights from Christian scriptures, Mark writes about mysticism as a stream of the experiential, flowing from the hearts of those who knew and know God. Through topics such as “How to be contemplative and active” and “Live green like Hildegard of Bingen,” Mark’s book speaks to each person’s need for transformation.
Co-hosted by Adam Bucko, Director of the Center for Spiritual Imagination and Kris Coleman, Program Director, this online event promises to be a space for reflection, inspiration, and community as we gather to explore the sacred in the ordinary moments of life.
