Spiritual Retreat for the Leader

Catalog description

This course teaches and fosters the thinking, dispositions, and practices necessary for deeper devotion to Christ. Taught as an intensive retreat, students participate in the daily routines of the monastic life, consisting of silence, solitude, and worship, along with the prayerful reflection it cultivates. Students read and reflect on classic devotional texts, participate in a diversity of spiritual disciplines, and thoughtfully develop a spiritual growth strategy to guide their lives and ministries. The primary aim is to foster life-long devotional practices that increase students' capacity for faithfulness to Christ and to their ministerial vocation.
