We were fortunate that Fr. William Harmless, S.J. could take time from his busy schedule to give the community a series of conferences on mystical theology.

His talks ranged from the desert fathers to Bernard of Clairvaux. He rooted the traditional mystical experience firmly in Christian community. It was easy to see why Fr. William is in such demand as a speaker and teacher. His enthusiasm is apparent and his erudition is worn lightly.
