Reformed and Contemplative

[Iosias]

Dr. Chuck DeGroat who served as a professor and Director of Spiritual Formation at Reformed Theological Seminary (Orlando), has written an essay entitled "Reformed and Contemplative: Discovering Both 16th Century Reformations". It makes for some great reading!

That summer, a young Calvinist named Chuck DeGroat, exhausted from a summer of performing for my academic gatekeepers, discovered grace in the Spanish Mystics.

 

[prov1810]

O Lord, my God, who will seek you with simple and pure love, and not find that you are all one can desire, for you show yourself first and go out to meet those who seek you?

The fly that clings to honey hinders its flight, and the soul that allows itself attachment to spiritual sweetness hinders its own liberty and contemplation.

(From Sayings of Light and Love)

One of the great lovers of God.
