What is
spiritual
direction?
Is it for
me?
Saturday
20 November 2010
Spiritual direction has become increasingly
popular and
it is
certainly a
phrase that
you will
have heard;
but what is
it all
about?
Perhaps you
have
wondered
whether it
might be for
you? It is
certainly
not just for
some
'spiritual
elite' (if
such a thing
ever really
existed) and
it can fit
well into a
busy
Christian
life in the
secular
world. It
isn't
something
which is
only for
Christians
from certain
traditions
or
denominations
and
increasing
numbers of
people are
finding it
useful to
set aside
time with a
trained
person to
see where
God might be
and what
clues there
are to
progressing
in their
spiritual
life.
This workshop allows you to explore these
questions
and
possibilities.
In the
morning you
will be able
to hear from
a number of
different
people who
act as
spiritual
directors:
they will
talk about
their work
and what it
means. In
the
afternoon
you will be
able to
experience a
half hour
'taster
session'
with one of
the team and
experience
yourself
what
spiritual
direction is
like. The
afternoon
will also be
an
opportunity
to
experience a
'quiet
space' and
have
available
various
suggested
ways of
praying and
finding God.
Roy Gregory,
StACCS tutor
in Christian
Spirituality,
will be
facilitating
the day and
he will be
supported by
a team of
spiritual
directors
coming from
a variety of
Christian
traditions.
Directors
will include
Pia Buxton,
Anne Strach,
Philip Mader-Grayson,
and Anthony
Curran.
The workshop
is held at
Ashley
Church
in St
Albans,
which has a

park and on
street
parking

dinks will
be available
during the
