HAS NOW MOVED TO
{JULIAN OF NORWICH lived in an English cathedral city in the fourteenth, and into the early fifteenth, centuries. A visionary, she wrote a theological treatise about her Showing of Love that is of the greatest value in prayer and contemplation today. She may also have participated in a medieval form of the Internet, called the Friends of God, in which Mystics, both men and women, across Europe shared their contemplative texts and supported each other in their work of prayer, hallowing God and Creation.
THE JULIAN OF NORWICH, SHOWING OF LOVE, TEXTS AND CONTEXTS, WEBSITE
{The Julian of Norwich, Her Showing of Love and Its Contexts, at http://www.umilta.net , is an Internet version of the Julian Library Portfolio, a collection of booklets which began as a series of lectures given to Quakers on Medieval Mystics. The essays are intended for contemplatives, scholars and Godfriends everywhere. They are available on the Internet and, where asterisked, also as printed and hand-sewn booklets, as fascicles in Florentine bound portfolios. They are graded as to whether most useful for General, Scholarly or Contemplative readers - but transgress those boundaries! There is also a Discussion List, Godfriends-L.
