Spiritual Directors Circle: Spiritual Guidance Across Faith Traditions
The Spiritual Directors Circle of Delaware Valley presents,
Spiritual Guidance Across Faith Traditions
For the majority of religions, spiritual guidance has been offered only within one’s own tradition—Catholics provided guidance for Catholics, Buddhists for Buddhists, etc. But increasingly, people are expanding their spiritual direction practices to include people of other traditions, and none. Our presenter, John Mabry, has been training people in the art of offering spiritual guidance “across traditions” for more than twenty years at the interfaith seminary, the Chaplaincy Institute (www.chaplaincyinstitute.org).
In this lecture, John offers a glimpse into theological ideas helpful in doing such work, along with insights gleaned from his own practice of guiding people of various religious and spiritual persuasions. For this event, we are pleased to offer a remote online option for those who are unable to attend in person. Please indicate this choice in your registration. You will be sent a link to use to sign in to the event; we will provide online break-out rooms for the discussion.
