Spiritual accompaniment-patient listening and honest openness
has become widespread among Christians of many traditions in recent
years. Is this modern application of an ancient 'discernment of
spirits' the best way for individual persons and groups of
Christians to be formed as the People of God?
Can anyone today accompany another person's spiritual experience
without a sound knowledge of psychology? Do spiritual accompaniment
and psychological therapy overlap? Can one replace the other?
Should an accompanist also be a therapist, as some have
suggested?
Writing from his years of experience in a cistercian monastery,
in which spiritual accompaniment is a living tradition, the author
reflects on some first steps towards answering these questions.
