About the Spiritual Adviser Handbook
The Spiritual Adviser plays a key role in the life of the Conference and yet many members feel inadequate or ill prepared to take on the role.
The Spiritual Adviser Handbook provides a wealth of information and practical aids to facilitate Vincentian practice in all aspects of Conference life. It is available for any member who would like a copy. In addition to the Handbook, there is a Workbook to reflect upon the reading and deepen your understandings and an Appendix with additional resources. We encourage readers to utilise the questions in the Workbook as they explore the Handbook.
This Handbook is one of several initiatives of the NSW Spirituality Committee’s Facilitating Faith in Action program. This program provides training and formation resources to build confidence, skills, and understanding for members who provide spiritual leadership to their Conference or Council.
Some comments from members about the Handbook:
The purpose of the Mission Strategy is to deeply embrace the overall Strategy of the Society to Grow, Excel and Cultivate. It aims to provide an opportunity for our people to increase their knowledge and understanding of this mission-led organisation, excelling our best practice for the people we serve and cultivate a culture of compassion working always to shape a more just and empathetic society.
