Description / Abstract
In Wesleyan Christian Spirituality, spiritual formation for Christlikeness is a life-long pursuit of holiness in practical living, which implies spiritual health. The failure to deeply appreciate the life-long process of spiritual formation and intentionally pursue it frequently results in diminished spiritual health and may lead to ethical or moral failure in the minister’s life. The spiritual health is the responsibility of each person seeking and holding ordination; however, the Church of the Nazarene charges each District with monitoring its pastors’ annual Life-Long Hours, which is its only means of accountability to their spiritual health. This dissertation advances the spiritual formation practices of spiritual retreats and spiritual direction as a model to facilitate spiritual health for clergy on the East Ohio District of the Church of the Nazarene. Components and strategies for these spiritual retreats and system of spiritual direction are discussed in the literature review and presented as a proposed model with accompanying resources.
