Henri Nouwen is reckoned by many as one of the greatest spiritual writers of the last century whose continuing impact is felt cross-denominationally and globally. An author of more than 40 books, many of which were bestsellers worldwide, his writings focused on Christian spirituality–our life with God. Nouwen stayed faithful all the way with his missional thrust: to proclaim the gospel and how to flesh it out in our life.
Nouwen’s spirituality is a well-integrated spirituality–one that does not rigidly dichotomize spiritual concepts and methodologies in an “either-or” fashion but promotes a “both-and” mindset. His is a holistic spirituality that centers around the greatest commandment: loving God, loving neighbor and loving self–with its unified but intertwining inward, outward, and upward movements.
This one-day event aims at exposing us to an integrated spiritual life that Nouwen so embodied concretely with the hope that we too can more intentionally endeavor to live a life of love in a way that impacts others and the world around us. In this shared goal, Henri Nouwen stands as our reliable example and guide.
