In Search of A Way: Walking the Spiritual Path
An all-new online course exploring the theme of walking as a spiritual experience at Loyola Marymount University starting October 12th 2024
Walking a path. Following a way. The journey. The impulse to walk is so strong within us. Perhaps because of this, it has proven a durable and useful metaphor for spiritual longing. At the very heart of Christian spirituality stands the image of a path: the hodos or “way”; a key to understanding both the identity of Christ (“I am the Way”) as well as the life of faith (“the Way, the truth the life”) and the meaning of community (Christians were often known simply as “people of the Way”). Walking or journeying would remain critical to the Christian spiritual imagination for centuries afterward. There is a recurring sense here that walking, of following a path, traveling along a route both familiar and strange, is somehow essential to our capacity to grasp the meaning of our own spiritual experience, to help us know who we are (in God). Members of the class will be invited to engage and critically respond to these traditions and to consider how learning to “walking the path” can draw us closer to God and one another in love.
