Mennonite Spiritual Directors List is a directory of Mennonites in the United States (including two internationals) who are qualified and available to offer the ministry of spiritual direction. Fundamentally a ministry of prayer, spiritual direction is a one-with-one relationship in which directors accompany others on their journey to mature faith in Christ.
Compiled by Mennonite Church USA Executive Leadership, the directory includes names of persons who have been recommended by area conference, district and denominational leaders. Each individual has provided information regarding training and availability. In addition, a letter of reference has been supplied by their congregation or area conference indicating they are in good standing with their congregation. These persons have also committed themselves to the ethical standards of Spiritual Directors International. Guidelines for Ethical Conduct can be purchased for $2.75 from SDI, PO Box 3584, Bellevue, WA 98009. [Source: Nancy Kauffman, MC USA, Leadership Department]
