2011 Australian Bonhoeffer Conference
17-18 November 2011
Practical Mysticism: Dietrich Bonhoeffer in Conversation with Mary McKillop
Practical mysticism denotes the idea of living out the experience of union with God in a practical and applied manner. It is a mystical knowing, including an intense knowing of self and God, that implies and impels action, practical action for good.
At the conference we will explore the idea of practical mysticism as an authentic Christian pathway, explore the ramifications for insight into the nature of saintliness in Bonhoeffer and St Mary of the Cross, and finally bring these two heroes of the church into conversation with each other.
