As well as Hildegard's feast, today is the feast day and 800th anniversary of Francis of Assisi's stigmata, although some accounts date this to the 14th September. Read my Church Times article. Next week's article is the history of stigmata more widely. churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2…

Fantastic session!
Fantastic panel on mystical failures @IMC_Leeds For a variety of reasons there were no Power Points and yet the brilliant performances made them unnecessary! Thanks @medievalk Letha Böhringer & Rowan Wilson and @M_S_Hahn for moderating #BlurredBoundaries @mle_network
