Abstract
AbstractPresent theology and ministry are heavily dependent on rationalism and verbal skills. Missing from ministry is an appreciation for mystical experience as a separate approach to reality. This article attempts to illuminate religious experiences as mysticism, an essential part of any ministry. Mysticism is not an altered state of consciousness but an awareness of the Holy in the realm on normal existence. Ministry is defined as eliciting the mystery of God.
