Bishop Larry Maze



Larry E. Maze was ordained in the Episcopal Church thirty-five years ago. He has served as a parish priest in a number of settings, and most recently served as the Episcopal Bishop of Arkansas for thirteen years. He retired from that position in 2007. He began an informal study of Carl Jung's influence on Christian spirituality twenty years ago, and has attended many teaching events on the subject, sometimes as a student and sometimes as a presenter.

The work of Jung, John Sanford, Morton Kelsey and Robert Johnson have played key roles in his development as a teacher and workshop leader in the expanding arena of inner work. He has lectured particularly in the areas of shadow work, masculine and feminine energies, the role of dreams as Christian discipline, and the interconnections between Carl Jung's work and the Christian journey.

He has led parish weekends introducing the basic concepts of dream work. He and Susan Sims Smith frequently work together as retreat leaders.
