What Do Most Advanced Western Religions Think Of Julian Of Norwich?
Most western Christian faiths now venerate Julian of Norwich. The Roman Catholic Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Anglican Communion all venerate her. There is feast in her honour and she is commemorated on the 8th of May by the Anglican and Lutheran Church and on the 13th of May by the Roman Catholic Church. She also has a shrine dedicated to her known as the Church of St. Julian. She became known as the author of the first book to be written in English by a woman because of the “Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love” which she penned. Her philosophy at the time was more optimistic than the one propagated by the Church. She put forward the view that sufferings that humans suffered such as the plague were in fact caused to take man closer to God rather than them being retribution as was commonly held.
