Julian of Norwich

I became interested in Julian of Norwich several years back when  I was attempting to change the person I was through meditating/contemplating.  I stumbled on the book "All will be well". At that time I was in between jobs, not actively searching for one, using the time to attempt to develop myself.  I think my father practised contemplative prayer or  some kind of praying for answers/guidance prior to engaging in activity. Not being spiritually inclined or the most quiet of persons, most of what he spoke about or said on the whole went through one ear and out the other.  So in memory of the person my father was, here is a  little bit of info on Julian of Norwich and the current times:

The intent is to have this encyclopedia become the Who's Who and What's What in Medieval and Renaissance England.
