PROGRAM GOALS
PROGRAM GOALS
This program was developed with a purpose in mind and to meet what is a growing hunger to engage in a robust, life-giving, spiritual life. It aims:
§ To provide an opportunity for participants to become more deeply formed in the spiritual life.
§ To provide a way for participants to establish and/or deepen their own daily spiritual practice.
§ To provide a way for spiritual seekers to further investigate their longing for a deeper relationship with God through Christian tradition.
The focus is on Christian spirituality, not doctrine. It is meant to help people of faith understand the value of a committed spiritual life and begin to practice some of the basic disciplines of the Christian spiritual life while also encouraging experienced practitioners to stay on the path.
