The Luminous Gospels the Gospel of Thomas
Tuesday, November 14 – Friday, November 17, 2017
Led by Rev. Matthew Wright
This retreat will focus on an exploration of early Christian Wisdom literature, paying particular attention to the Gospels of Thomas, Mary Magdalene, and Philip. These three texts came to light in the mid-20th century and give us important insight into the development of early Christianity and the Christian mystical tradition. We’ll look at what they have to teach us about Jesus, the early Church, and how they can nourish our own spiritual journeys today.
Join us for a weekend of teaching, chanting, and silent meditation, while participating in the rhythms of a Benedictine monastery.
