On Being a Spiritual Nurturer, 2002-2003 by School of the Spirit Spiritual nurturers are persons called to pay particular attention to God's transforming, guiding, and healing work in our lives. Spiritual nurturers may be called on to listen, encourage, discern, interpret, teach, call to accountability, pray for, and love others toward wholeness and faithfulness. In all of these ways nurturers point toward the presence and work of the Spirit in our lives. Nurturers help persons follow a path of deepening relationship with Christ.
Spiritual nurture takes place in a contemplative and communal context.
In this residential program we will study and practice living into each of these dimensions. The program is two years long and includes eight residential sessions, totaling 32 residential days. Each residential session will combine study, practice, and reflection on spiritual nurture. The program stresses the contemplative and communal dimensions of all nurture work. The faculty comprises a core staff and visiting teachers.
