About AECSD

About:

The Council exists to support the flourishing of spiritual direction in Australia.

Spiritual direction seeks to listen the life-giving presence of God into articulation within the individual and the faith community. We believe that the spiritual journey is unique to each person and that God fashions and transforms according to the secret call within us. The ministry of spiritual direction is a sacred trust, calling for the highest standards of formation, practice and accountability.

The Council welcomes the ministry of spiritual directors who belong to the different Christian traditions in which Christ continues to minister through the Spirit. Together we aim to nurture the prophetic dimension of spiritual direction, which reveals God’s presence in all of life and calls for a lived response marked by justice, reconciliation and healing for people and creation.
