Spiritual direction has been an intrinsic part of the Christian
tradition since the earliest days of the church when desert mothers
and fathers were sought out for their wisdom and guidance. Today,
the popularity of retreats and renewed interest in monastic
spirituality has put spiritual direction in the spotlight. It is
shedding its rather exotic, mystical associations and is
increasingly regarded as a core component of Christian ministry.
This guide aims to equip clergy and laity engaged in this task, or
in training for it. It includes, Part One: What is spiritual
direction? This is an exploration of biblical, historical and
contemporary models of spiritual direction. What makes a good
spiritual director? Part Two covers listening and responding to
God, prayer, paying attention, discernment, interpreting religious
experience, recognising God in the every day, journalling, and holy
leisure. Part Three covers listening and responding to others,
listening to stories and experience, looking for signs of grace,
pain or crises. Part Four covers listening and responding to
ourselves, and Part Five covers spiritual direction in the local
church.
