Temptation to despair is strong in the present moment. War, political upheaval, economic uncertainty, and a global pandemic focus attention on surviving the day rather than building the future. Amidst such challenges, we can learn from those who persevered before us. We can turn toward those who sustained a sense of prophetic hope during calamitous times. Such is the case with Julian of Norwich (1343 – c.1416) and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881 – 1955), and this presentation will provide opportunities to learn more about their complementary mysticism and how it speaks directly to our current needs.

Joshua Canzona holds a doctorate in theological and religious studies from Georgetown University. His research interests include comparative mysticism, religion and science, and religion and art. He teaches at the Wake Forest University School of Divinity and serves as the Associate University Ombudsman at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill where he provides conflict resolution services to a constituency exceeding 40,000 community members.
