Further Information:

β€œWasting time with God” is one definition of mysticism; for others, it’s a highly suspect, self-obsessedΒ  practice beginning with β€˜mist’, putting β€˜I’ firmly in the middle, and ending in β€˜schism’!

So what exactly is a mystic, and what practical benefit can there be to a mystical approach to spirituality?

For Pentecost,Β  Mary Stallard discusses mysticism with a panel of guests, and speaks to the remarkable woman who gave up a successful career in publishing to pursue a quite different pathway asΒ a charity worker, and to an Anglican theologian who finds his most mystical experience occurs when improvising jazz on his saxophone.Β
