Bridges to Understanding: Multifaith and Interfaith Spiritual Direction
July 20-24, 2009
Saint Michael’s College, Colchester, Vermont, USA

A featured outreach program of Spiritual Directors International
with Carol A. Fournier, NCC, Liz Ellmann, MDiv, Kathleen McAlpin, RSM, Brother Jamal Rahman, and Rabbi Shawn Israel Zevit

Program
As descendants of Abraham, people who walk Jewish, Christian, and Islamic spiritual paths are challenged to develop a greater understanding of one another, and cultivate dialogues that can lead to new and deeper perspective on one’s own religious tradition. Bridges to Understanding is a unique opportunity to engage with leaders who have extensive experience in Interfaith spiritual formation. You will not only learn about the wisdom that lies at the roots of Abrahamic spiritual traditions, but also explore the practical applications this provides for ministry and service.

The week-long experiential workshop is suitable for spiritual directors, pastoral counselors, ministers, chaplains, educators, spiritual seekers and those engaged in authentic efforts to support spiritual development and formation within their faith tradition and with people from other traditions.
