What is Christian Spiritual Direction?

 

Christian spiritual direction is a pastoral ministry in which one Christian person helps another to:

Christian spiritual direction is based on God’s covenantal relationship with men and women in Jesus Christ. Covenant speaks of mutual respect, trust and faithfulness and has a sacred character.
