MEN IN BLACK DRESSES by YVONNE SENT, PH. D.
|
SummaryIf we pause long enough, we can hear, above the din of our
planet's rapid globalization and technological advancement,
the quiet voices of spiritual leaders from ancient faiths.
Middle East historian Yvonne Seng asks, What can these
modern Desert Fathers with their long history of survival
advise us on the future of our planet? Her intellectual
quest rapidly becomes a personal journey that turns her
Western training and perceptions on their head. Men In Black Dresses takes the reader behind the walls of
desert monasteries, Sufi enclaves, ancient cathedrals and
mosques -- where the author knocks, uninvited, and waits
for the wise men to allow her in. Once inside, they discuss
the universal concerns of the environment and the Internet,
the building of a global community, and the education of
coming generations, as well as the state of the human
spirit.
