Jo, here's a quote from a PhD thesis found (pg 20;quoting Andrew Louth) that I find interesting:
here
Quote:
For Christians love is the love of Christ which unites us to him and
through him to one another. And so Christian theology, and in particular
Christian mystical theology, is ecclesial, it is the fruit of participation in
the mystery of Christ, which is inseparable from the mystery of the
Church.

I don't know how much that quote helps define what a Christian Mystic is, but perhaps it helps at least a little . . .
