AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
Volume 26, Number 3
September 2020
Reciprocal intergenerational listening—whereby each generation gleans much-needed wisdom in a relationship that mimics the biological concept of symbiosis—holds great potential to heal a rift within our species that appears to be increasing at the speed of technological change. ... But take heart! This dynamic also holds great potential for mutually beneficial intergenerational interdependence.”
"Much of the ministry of spiritual companionship was already a ministry of accompanying those who were experiencing grief and loss. The pandemic has exponentially exacerbated the need for spiritual companionship ... But what of our own grief? How can we possibly accompany others when some days we can barely get out of bed ourselves?"

Presence: An International Journal of Spiritual Direction is published in March, June, September, and December. Presence offers a forum among diverse people and spiritual traditions for the exploration of present and future trends in the art and ministry of spiritual direction. Presence is grounded in the belief that our deepest calling is to be present to one another as we share the gift of ourselves. Presence strives to articulate the essential elements of contemplative practices, formation, and training; to encourage accountability; and to develop clear ethical guidelines. Presence supports a global contemplative dialog of spiritual care and compassion for others, ourselves, and the whole cosmos. ISSN 1081-7662.
Opinions expressed in this journal are the opinions of the authors and advertisers and may not represent the opinions of Spiritual Directors International, the coordinating council, or the editors. All biblical quotations are from the NRSV unless otherwise noted.
