Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted April 6, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 6, 2013 Another thread has generated spirited discussion as to what Spiritual Formation actually is. I intend to post here a variety of sources as to what it is. They will likely differ. I will not be posting them because I agree with them. I will simply post here because I think that they have something to contribute. An Adventist source: http://wquercus.com/faith/spiritual_formation.htm http://sda2rc.blogspot.com/2010/07/spiritual-formation.html http://amazingdiscoveries.org/S-deception_Spiritual_Formation_movement_Oakland http://billcork.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/spirituality-and-spiritual-formation/ A historical perspective: http://www.svchapel.org/resources/articles/133-spiritual-formation-movement/753-spiritual-formation http://herescope.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-spiritual-formation-became.html http://christianresearchnetwork.org/topic/spiritual-formation/ An Evangelical view: http://www.georgefox.edu/seminary/about/formation.html hhttp://books.google.com/books?id=Dj3pLgCT5r8C&pg=PA31&lpg=PA31&dq=roman+catholics+%26+Spiritual+formation&source=bl&ots=SJpHm1uePW&sig=uCFeP9m7ifbXVwfExlmYotaxTrY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=laxgUcGkPM23qAHTk4HIAg&ved=0CEQQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=roman%20catholics%20%26%20Spiritual%20formation&f=falsettp://www.ecswisdom.org/index.php/beliefs/definition_of_spiritual_formation A Biblical perspective: http://bible.org/seriespage/towards-biblical-definition-spiritual-formation-romans-121-2 http://cicministry.org/commentary/issue91.htm Roman Catholics & Spiritual Formation: http://www.understandthetimes.org/commentary/c65.shtml http://www.catholicspiritualdirection.org/ The above is not a comprehensive selection. It is lacking, in my mind, in some areas. But, it may be of interest to some of you. Quote Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Gerr Posted April 6, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 6, 2013 I would certainly want to hear from someone who actually first-hand experience with SF by having gone to an SF seminar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. T. Cross Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Could someone shorten the one url (maybe a hyperlink or something) so that this post does not eat up about 3 monitors worth of width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
