Border-Crossing Spirituality

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In these days of increasing globalization and interreligious contact, Jung Eun Sophia Park has provided a powerful metaphor and process--'borderland' and 'border crossing'--to guide our inevitable and necessary forays beyond our familiar communities. She points out the landmarks, the dangers, and the potentials of this journey, helping us live into the creative growth that can be found in transitions of multiple kinds. Through texts (Christian Gospels and the Buddhist Tibetan Book of the Dead), ritual (kut, from Korean shamanism), and spiritual guidance from various traditions, she invites us into the in-between space that is borderland and demonstrates the power of inter-spirituality for contemporary seekers.”

Conversations at the Well

Women

“Sophia Park, SNJM, invites women religious to see the present moment as a graced, if difficult, period that can be—indeed already is—taking religious life to a new moment.”

Deep and Wide

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A heartfelt challenge to merge deep contemplative prayer with effective political action through pertinent philosophical musings, thoughtful biblical insights, and ancient and contemporary spiritual wisdom woven together with stories and examples—a message for our times.”

Trauma and Grief

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“R. Scott Sullender offers practitioners and students of pastoral care and counseling that most valuable of resources: an accessible survey of the best current research on the interrelationship between trauma, loss and grief, their often complicated intertwining, potential recovery trajectories and strategies, and numerous suggestions on how pastoral care providers can respond helpfully.”
