SPD7393 Advancing the Art and Ministry
This course is designed to focus on the art and ministry of spiritual direction for those who have had previous training or course work. It is intended that this will be both a review and new material/content as well. The goal of the course is that students will have experience offering direction and be in supervision, either for the first time or as an ongoing experience as spiritual directors. Content will include review of basic tools in spiritual direction: the art listening, self-awareness, supervision and ethics of spiritual direction ministry, the role of silence, prayer, spiritual warfare, scripture in spiritual direction and the biblical/theological themes that arise in spiritual direction.
