Academy for Spiritual Formation 2008 (Two-Year)

 

Applications are still being accepted to the two-year Academy for Spiritual Formation® which begins August 19-24, 2008 at Sinsinawa, Wisconsin (near Dubuque, Iowa).  
 
This two-year journey into the heart, mind, soul and will of Christ has been offered to clergy and lay participants since 1983. It is one of the most highly regarded programs of its kind, providing a balanced approach to spiritual formation with worship, lectures, silence, covenant groups and spiritual disciplines. Participants gather eight times for five days every calendar quarter – a total of 40 days in retreat. Racial-ethnic participants are encouraged to apply.   
 
Faculty for this Academy (#28) includes Juan Bek, Wendy Wright, Dick and Elise Eslinger, Bob Mulholland, Sr. Donald Corcoran, Bruce Rigdon, Jane Vennard, Susan Muto, Kathryn Damiano, Tom Albin, Charles Gipson, Bishop Hee-soo Jung, Kent Millard, Sr. Kathleen Flood and Youngsook Kang. The leadership team which guides the experience consists of Barrie Tritle, Jo Hoover, In-Sook Hwang, Marty Schumacher and Steve West.
