Transcript of Parents as Spiritual DIrectors Model
PARENTS AS SPIRITUAL PARENTS AS SPIRITUAL DIRECTORSDIRECTORS
How it can work in a church setting
The church has a trained Spiritual
Director
or two
Parents receive regular Spiritual
Direction from the Spiritual Director
Here they attend to their own spiritual life and learn how to be a good spiritual director
Parents provide Spiritual Direction for their children
The parents listen and ask questions to help children identify how God is speaking to them
Parents can offer help with the Disciplines
Which can become the subject of more Spiritual Direction conversations
Parents then take their experiences as a Spiritual Director to the church Spiritual Director for supervision
They discuss what the parent's conversation with their children reveals about the parent's own relationship with God
