Dialogue Book Club: Three Mystics Walk Into a Tavern
October 1, 2016 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am
FreeEvent Navigation
The Dialogue Institute is pleased to announce bi-weekly book club gatherings starting on October 1st. They will read the book; “Three Mystics Walk into a Tavern: A Once and Future Meeting of Rumi, Meister Eckhart, and Moses de León in Medieval Venice” co-authored by 
James C. Harrington, a human rights lawyer in Austin, TX, the founder and director emeritus of the Texas Civil Rights Project and Sidney G. Hall III, a United Methodist minister.
In Three Mystics Walk into a Tavern, Jalal ad-Din Rumi, Moses de León, and Meister Eckhart—three of the greatest mystics of all time—meet in Venice for an imaginary night-long conversation that will inspire everyday individuals of the twenty-first century to find their own spirituality and realize that everyone can be a mystic. Although the mystics came from different backgrounds and religious traditions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity), their spiritual paths led them to similar understandings of a union with the Divine. The three mystics have a timeless and timely message for people who walk the earth eight centuries after they did, no matter an individual’s religious background or even if they have none. It is a message of connecting with the “divine spark” deep within us and within the universe.
This event is free and open to the public!
