"I found it very beneficial to have someone outside of seminary with whom to think through theological issues and how they are lived out in practice.  Spiritual direction provided a ‘safer’ environment in which to ask questions. Having a monthly time set aside for reflection encouraged me to do some reflecting that I might not have taken the time to do on my own.  It provided a stimulus; especially as a student, it’s easy to get caught up in needing to write papers, practice, and so on, and not take some concentrated time just to think." –Cantor, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church & Lutheran Campus Ministry, Chapel Hill, NC

"A spiritual director is a companion on your journey who opens your heart to God's grace; a friend who accompanies you to the deepest part of your soul where your Spirit resides in the embrace of the Lord." –Jeanette Frankenfield – retired teacher, former directee 2007–2008

"Spiritual Direction provides a reflective space for the busyness of my activity to settle and the beauty of God’s activity to emerge.  I am often amazed at how God orchestrates and directs our prayerful conversation, to bring about confession, thanksgiving and healing." –Pastor, Lancaster, PA

"Through Spiritual Direction I have realized how deeply God loves me.  Through this deeper intimacy I have discovered new parts of who God created me to be.   I have also become more attentive to God's movement in my life as I have taken time to slow down and notice."  –Teacher, York, PA
