Ghost Ranch has a long tradition of supporting those in ministry with rich respite and continuing education. In 2013, we will dedicate two special weeks to helping support those in all fields of ministry (ordained and lay).
Arrival (Monday afternoon) and Departure (Saturday morning) have been established so that those in ministry can leave/return in time for their weekly Worship responsibilities. Some segments will involve the full group (plenaries – processing – Worship). Participants will also choose one focus class where they will receive approximately 20 hours of instruction/ experience to help them in their field of ministry. Come and receive a week of nourishment to help you so you in turn can help others.
Many authors of spirituality, from the ancient to the modern, have experienced illnesses and written about them from the point of view of the spiritual life. These writings provide inspiration for those who have dealt with a major illness and have tried to understand how their illness can empower them and bring them closer to God. Participants will discuss ways in which their illness or the illness of someone they know has changed them both physically and spiritually.
