Helen Holt - Mysticism, psychology and Rufus Jones
Today’s Liberal Quakerism owes much to Rufus Jones and his psychologically informed interpretation of Quakerism as a mystical religion. This session will provide an introduction to his thought and the opportunity to reflect on some of his ideas in small groups.
Having spent 20 years working as a scientific copy-editor while studying theology and spirituality in her spare time, Helen Holt decided to combine her interests in 2013 by embarking on an M.Sc in Science and Religion at Edinburgh University. Somewhat unexpectedly, her studies led her to Quakerism. She is now an attender at Tweeddale Meeting and a Ph.D candidate investigating how Rufus Jones related mysticism and psychology.
