Vision Statement for the Spiritual Direction Forum UK
This statement came from a discerning process undertaken by the initiating group. This included a consultation with over 170 spiritual directors from all over the country who after prayerful reflection contributed their feedback. This was compiled into 72 page document. The group reflected and prayed with this, seeking to listen to all that was shared and draw together a vision statement. This vision statement comprises three sections:
- Vision – the aim and purpose of the Forum
- Values / Way – the values and ways in which it seeks to be
- Mission – the actions that are needed in the first instance in order to begin to work to the aim and purpose.
