Spiritual Guidance Opportunity
The RUAH School of Spiritual Guidance is a well-established two-year program to support clergy and other Christians in the development of the gift of spiritual guidance and direction. It is composed of 10 overnight retreats per year for two years, from September through June. At the request of clergy and other church ministers, Richmond Hill is offering an edition of the RUAH School during the week so as not to interfere with weekend church schedules. The School will begin on Monday, September 17, 2012.
The program consists of monthly 24-hour retreats in the context of the rhythm of life of the Richmond Hill Community. Prayer and faith-sharing are a part of the discipline of all participants. Topics covered include the use of Scripture in discernment, contemplative prayer, history of spirituality, dream work, vocation, social transformation, listening skills, boundaries and professional ethics, depth psychology, healing prayer, and many other topics. Participants are assigned one or two books every month on a spiritual topic related to the month's theme.
Acceptance is not limited to clergy and church professionals, but these persons are particularly encouraged to apply. The regular sequence of the RUAH School, now in its 20th year, is held on the second Saturday night and Sunday of each month. A new class will begin in that school in September 2013.
To inquire or apply, contact Deborah Streicker, spiritual director of Richmond Hill, or the Rev. Ben Campbell, pastoral director. Deadline for applications is July 1, 2012. 804-783-7903 or retreats@richmondhillva.org.
