Regular spiritual direction is recognised as a necessary discipline for clergy to nurture and nourish their faith and the outworking of it in ministry.
Good spiritual direction is:
- a safe space - characterised by confidentiality, respect and openness that gives the directee freedom to explore the ebb and flow of their faith.
- theologically sensitive โ observant of theological understanding, vocational calling, traditions and perspectives.
- enriching โ an opportunity to deepen faith, broaden perspective, grow in self-awareness and quality of presence.
