Journey-Faith in an Entangled World

Nancy Sylvester had many companions on her Journey-Faith including: Thomas Keating, Cynthia Bourgeault, Constance FitzGerald, Brian Swimme, Teresa of Avila, Ken Wilber, Jean Gebser, and Teilhard DeChardin. They accompanied her as she pondered key questions of today. Do you desire to express your experience of God in ways that reflect your evolving understanding of self, others, and the world? Do you feel that the world is at an impasse yet desire to do something about our future? Let Journey-Faith in an Entangled World be a companion on your journey. Using the metaphor of an Art Exhibit, where your words are paint and paper is your canvas, Nancy Sylvester, IHM, invites you to become an active participant with her as she grapples with integrating her faith experience with contemporary insights from theology, philosophy, science, and psychology. Critical to this synthesis is contemplation and its capacity for transformation both of self and of one’s engagement with the world. As you meander through the Galleries you join her to reflect on the many aspects of contemplation, struggle with critical issues, navigate political landscapes, ponder Christian liturgical feasts, savor the seasons, and imagine a transformed future. The invitation throughout is to engage in contemplative practice - to 'see' the world in new ways; to receive each work, engage your own experience with it, and then give creative expression to what has moved in you. When you read Journey-Faith in an Entangled World you embark on a profound journey to find meaning and hope in a post-modern world. ------------ From Gallery One: "The term Journey-Faith expresses what I am trying to share. It is not a noun, not an object, static and outside of oneself, but closer to a verb ... Journey-Faith....The focus is on both concepts equally: how I experienced the revelation of God in my life and how my life's journey shaped and found expression in Divine Mystery. It is also how the Gospel message of Love evolved in my life and throughout history remaining still relevant for today's challenges. My Journey-Faith takes place in an entangled world. The word entanglement is a key concept in quantum physics. It expresses the inextricable relationship of mind and matter and provides a scientific underpinning for my experience that everything is connected. All of our experiences are interconnected. They weave in and out of each other, creating new insights and understandings. Entanglement embraces the human and divine dimensions of reality."
