Medieval Pursuit of God

What can we learn about seeking God in our lives and communities from the medieval pursuit of God? For most medieval people, learning about God was a holistic activity. They pursued God with their minds, bodies, and spirits. Stained glass windows taught biblical stories, prayer positions connected the mind to the heart, and new objects and everyday activities became vessels of theological wisdom. Even for the literate, reading wasn’t just passive reception of information. Usually, texts were read aloud in a community and the audience was invited to make connections between words and concepts, creating endless chains of meaning from a single verse. In light of COVID-19 and “streaming church,” how might we make community through medieval learning processes? How might we, too, utilize new technologies to convey the richness of the Christian tradition and to pursue God more deeply?
