SUMMARY:Writing as a Spiritual Practice
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Merton’s first—and one of his most famous—books is his spiritual autobiography\, The Seven Storey Mountain. Since his death\, many books have been published as compilations of\, or based upon\, the volumes of journals that he left behind.  \nJoin us as ELPC member Dr. Brent House explores with us this practice of spiritual journaling and memoir writing as a way to draw nearer to ourselves and to God.  \nA light lunch will be served. \nDr. House is a professor of Creative Writing at California University of Pennsylvania. \nAbout Thomas Merton\nThomas Merton was an American Catholic writer and mystic. A Trappist monk\, he was a poet\, social activist\, and pioneer of Interfaith Dialogue. Merton wrote more than 70 books—mostly on spirituality\, social justice\, and a quiet pacifism—as well as essays\, reviews\, and voluminous journals. Among Merton’s most enduring works is his best-selling\, spiritual autobiography\, The Seven Storey Mountain (1948)\, which appears on National Review’s list of the 100 best non-fiction books of the 20th century. He has been an inspiration to millions.
