SPIRITUAL DIRECTORS' FORMATION
PROGRAMME COORDINATOR: 

Sue Pickering

New Coordinator Appointed for Spiritual Directors' Formation Programme

We are delighted that Barbara McMillan has accepted the position of Coordinator of the Spiritual Directors' Formation Programme, commencing toward the end of July. Barbara completed her spiritual director formation through Spiritual Growth Ministries’ programme in 1998/1999 and over the past several years has contributed to the Programme as a workshop facilitator and supervisor.

Barbara works as a Christian Spiritual Director and is particularly interested in assisting people to recognise and be open to responding to God in the midst of everyday life. She is a mother of four daughters, and is currently working towards her Masters Degree in Spiritual Theology from Regent College in Vancouver BC. Barbara has a professional background in nursing and chaplaincy. Her love of mountains and gardening comes from growing up on the West Coast of the South Island, and spending her early married life sheep farming in Otago. 

When Barbara and her family return to New Zealand in July they will be making their home in Auckland.
