An Interfaith Approach to Christian Mysticism in St. John's Gospel
REV. CAROL LACHANCE & ALBERT LACHANCE, PH.D.
The Gospel of John is the most mystical book in the New Testament. This course will unpack this Gospel verse by verse to invite the spiritual seeker to experience the mystical journey of Christ. All faith traditions will be discussed in light of the words of St. John as we explore the oneness and truth that is at the heart of all approaches to the sacred. Please join us for an experience of journeying with Christ to understand the many paths that lead to God.
This class is for spiritual seekers who are interested in a Christian spiritual path as seen in St. John's Gospel. 
Objectives for this course include:
  • to provide an understanding of the mystical teachings of St. John and how they inform and mirror the other faith traditions
  • to experience the Way of Christ as a journey that individuals take as they seek a spiritual path
  • to see what a third millennium Christianity might look like as one path among many faith traditions.
