Jerome Berryman’s essay “The Middle Realm” headlines the Fall 2013 edition of Episcopal Teacher, the quarterly publication of Viginia Theological Seminary’s Center for the Ministry of Teaching.
The “state of consciousness that is open and indeterminate yet fundamental to our nature and relationship with God and each other” we all know so well “from the inside,” the Middle Realm was publically introduced in Jerome’s addresses at the Dallas Children’s Medical Center symposium and the North American Godly Play Conference in Toronto this year. Now journeying through poetry, metaphor, science, and history, this new article in Episcopal Teacher further articulates the elusive Middle Realm with seven windows into its existence.
