Pioneers of The Spirit: Julian of Norwich

Throughout history a few special individuals have felt a spiritual longing so profound that nothing could satisfy their hunger. Facing uncharted territory, they mapped their own souls, seeking that mystical place where the self meets the divine. We call them Pioneers of the Spirit.
This program looks at Julian of Norwich, recognized today as one of 14th century England's most compelling mystics. A contemporary of Chaucer and survivor of the black plague, Julian received sixteen startling images of the crucified Christ that forever changed her life. Her descriptions of her visions in "Revelations of Divine Love" have given birth to enduring images of God's nurturing and familial love that continue to inspire seekers today.
