Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction or Companionship is a practice of working with a someone trained to accompany you in your journey of faith and ministry. It is a reflective practice, focused on listening for the presence and movement of the sacred or holy in your life and ministry. Working with a spiritual director can be a good complement to working with a counselor or therapist. Bishop Kym asks all Clergy to engage a spiritual director and Lay Leaders are encouraged to consider this as well.
