Event Description:
The spiritual history in Europe has ranged from beautifully united to severely fractured, and from dreary to vibrant. Regardless of the broader cultural climate, throughout the ages women and men emerged who wrote of deep faith experiences which left them and their readers forever changed. If you are interested in digging into some of these readings, please join us for the European Spiritual Classics Book Club. Facilitated by Rev. Dr. Steve Tungate.
