Using the socio-spiritual method of research, this thesis examines the classic texts of two spiritual pioneers from the fourth and fifth century Christian milieu in Egypt. These two little known individuals, Abba Evagrius and Amma Syndetica, provide wisdom and teachings from the desert that are highly valuable for the spiritual formation of contemporary lay ministers. The purpose and goal of this project is to reintroduce these little known classics, both texts and holy persons, in order to reappropriate the wisdom and teachings for use in the contemporary lay formation setting.
