Spiritual Directors

Qualities I look for in a spiritual director:
  • Takes a wide view of christianity, like Foster’s streams
  • Takes this thing of spiritual growth seriously
  • Has a warmth of hospitality
  • Doesn’t loose interest - ever
  • Available
  • Someone versed in the disciplines who can help me navigate them and challenge me to more without overwhelming.
  • Something of a contemplative
  • A dreamer who can help make God’s dreams for me reality. One who can dream with God about who I will become.
  • A good listener
  • Not afraid to take authority, to require something of me as needed.
  • Zossima like
  • Appreciates the mystics and is literate in the Spiritual Classics
