"God is mystery," writes Norvene Vest in the Introduction to
Tending the Holy, "and every form of religion is an effort to
respond faithfully to the mystery of God by whatever name. The
Divine breaks through into human experience in many ways, and
humans respond variously to the awesome experience of God." And
those various responses are what the contributors to Tending the
Holy document. In this provocative and cutting-edge collection
readers are given the opportunity to see what spiritual direction
looks like--and what questions are asked--through a variety of
lenses. From an examination of the spiritual direction relationship
in the Evangelical Christian tradition, to Buddhism and Hindu ones,
to the better-known ones of the Benedictines, Carmelites, and
Ignatians, and finally, to the contemporary lenses of feminism,
Generation X, the institutional perspective, and even one based on
the natural world and the spirituality of St. Francis, this
collection explores unexplored territory. Tending the Holy is an
important resource for spiritual directors and pastoral
counselors.
