About the book >.>.> Theological education and formation is being re-examined reclaiming the origi- nal understanding of theology as a sacred blend of robust intellectual exploration of scripture tradition and doctrine together with personal spiritual development through prayer and reflection in the context of daily life. For this reason this book is not only about spiritual direction but also provides material for personal spiritual formation by offering reflection & or discussion questions. Although it may be tempting to rush through these questions or exercises I warmly encourage you to give them space in your schedule honouring the invitation they represent to attend to your own spiritual growth. You will also find dialogues based on spiritual direction conversations and I would invite you to pay attention to your own responses as you listen with your spiritual direction ‘antennae’ up. We know that increasing attention is being paid to the future shape and health of the Church and to the need to be as Christ in our communities. The principles and practice of contemplative spiritual direction offer a rich resource for those involved in parish ministry in ‘fresh expressions’ of Church and for those who are engaged in community development – helping them discern the leading of the Holy Spirit and strengthening their relationship with God so they can in turn help (LL)
