Become Cultural Mystics
ENDORSEMENTS
“
When you see words and phrases like ‘cultural mysticism,’ ‘transcendence,’ and ‘TV as art’ on the contents page, there is an urge to look further. Sister Nancy continues a fine US Christian tradition, both Catholic and Protestant: the quest for meaning in movies. She extends this search in this social media age to a wide range of communications and popular arts.

“
Sister Nancy’s unique approach to popular culture and spirituality is a revelation. We so seldom think that we can all be theologians and mystics, but Nancy leads us to wonder about God's self-communication and presence in storytelling, and introduces ways of seeing our world that lead to contemplation, reflection, prayer, and action.

“
Sister Nancy offers a monumental contribution to the literature of Spiritual Formation and Theology of Film. Her insight, gained by an impressive immersion in both fields of inquiry, plunges her into creating an expanded and enlarged perspective of the Church's participation in everyday cultural rituals and society's craving for meaning. Her writing places her in the trajectory of Lay Theology as well as the Catholic Imagination. This masterful examination of entertainment art as theological source in the service of mysticism deserves wide circulation and a long shelf life. Mystics everywhere along with pop culture enthusiasts are looking for and dancing to this gift from a servant of the Sacred.
