This article looks at the relationship between hesychast spirituality and the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola, suggesting that both have much in common. What are these elements of agreement and how can two apparently quite distinct traditions be placed side by side? After a brief introduction to the two traditions I suggest that spiritual traditions offer the chance for experience to meet experience. Moreover, this experience is in principle available to all, though in practice the beneficiaries will always be relatively few in number. I then look in more detail at some features of the hesychast and Ignatian traditions. Both are Christ-centred, and have a particular relationship to the Scriptures. They also have views on discipleship, on the church, and on the world. And what does it mean to speak about either tradition or innovation in terms of spirituality? And given this, can spirituality serve as a test case for the discussion around the nature of tradition and innovation?
