Meeting the Great Reality Within: Defiance or Obedience?
A book I’ve often returned to over and over is Thomas R.
Kelly’s A Testament of Devotion. Kelly was a Quaker and a mystic. His book centers on what the Big Book calls “the Great Reality within.” Since it’s a Greater Reality we can never understand it – but we can experience it – and mystics like Kelly come as close as humans can come to describing what such an experience - and still more – what such a relationship is like. In this episode, Fr. Bill focuses on Kelly’s second chapter: Holy Obedience. It’s OK to listen even if you’re not wholly there!
Show Notes:
A Testament ofDevotion by Thomas R. Kelly
Poem: The Hound of Heaven by Francis
