It may have been suggested earlier - but any chance of starting a Christian Mystics forum?

The literature is replete with a wealth of material that has the ability to inspire and encourage from a range of writers which include such as Athanasius of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, Symeon, Francis of Assisi, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Julian of Norwich, John of the Cross and more recently Rudolf Steiner, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Henri Nouwen to name but a few.

Whereas Christian doctrine generally maintains that God dwells in all Christians and that they can experience God directly through belief in Jesus, Christian mysticism aspires to apprehend spiritual truths inaccessible through intellectual means, typically by emulation of Christ (Wikipedia).

Just a thought.

Fenelon?
Julian of Norwich?
M. Guyon?
Brother Lawrence?
Francis of Assisi?
We need their wisdom.
Especially Fenelon, IMHO. But I love them, all. Couldn't have endured and overcome without them!
Would love to have a forum about the wisdom they left for us. And, if it is pertinent, I am a protestant.
Christ always, Christ alone, Christ magnified, Christ, the Victor.
