Abstract
  • This study in Christian spirituality proposes a contemporary form of the early Wesleyan practice of group spiritual guidance as a viable means of assisting persons in deepening their relationship with the Divine. It provides a theoretical foundation for the paradigm and describes its testing in local churches. Key findings include (1) that the paradigm is effective in the local church setting; (2) that the dynamics of the small group offer an element that cannot be duplicated in the dyadic relationship; and (3) that the process assists persons in gaining their voices as they identify and articulate their experiences of God.
