Mystics on the Margins
The people with whom Dr. Forman spoke feel or sense something powerful and important in church, even though they don't accept the traditional "God the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth," or the claim that Jesus is "the only Son of God." Even though they doubt such claims, they often find church meaningful and powerful.
Because they have real doubts, they tend to keep their true beliefs secret and thus find themselves on the "margins" of the church. Yet because they recognize that their spiritual experiences are important, instructive and sometimes life-changing, we call them "mystics." Thus these people are "Mystics on the Margins."

I couldn’t put this book down. Forman’s vision is so wide yet deep! It is centered on the living and universal core of spirituality that cuts across religions but also on Christianity’s unusual emphasis on relationship. I was especially moved by his notion of “Sacramental Conversations” which has tremendous implications for people to reach one another at depths while at the same time unifying the religions. In all this he is not asking people to give up anything of Christianity, but rather change their emphasis to the living, experiential volcano that was in Christianity’s beginning and still lives today. -- Doug Kruschke, Founder InSynergy Facilitation Services
