Expert Profile: Michael Clark, Ph.D.

Expertise: I’d prefer to answer questions for those who feel they don't easily fit into any of the existing methods, moulds or patterns usually associated with Christian mysticism. I am aware of historical approaches and may comment on these. But in the 21st century, many feel the need for new ways of relating to the Holy Spirit. Ways that are in sync and integrated with what's happening in the world today. Along these lines, I can help with the interface of mysticism, psychology, society and organized religion (especially Catholicism).

Experience in the area
I've explored several different Christian denominations and am interested in their respective strengths and weaknesses. I've also been studying connections among Christians, other religions and beliefs in "the beyond" at my educational website earthpages.org and at my blog michaelwclark.com.
