- Abstract
This paper explores the spiritual formation work being done at the Graduate School of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary. This work can be conceptualized as tailing under three categories: teaching, mentoring, and experience. And while experience is difficult to capture, the work of James Smith (2009, 2013) is utilized to understand humans as desiring creatures who are shaped in deep, precognitive ways by engaging in cultural liturgies that direct ones desire/love toward a particular telos. In this sense, spiritual formation at Fuller is more like direction with professors providing practices that shape and form students. Student and alumni narratives lend support to the idea that clinical training in fact facilitated spiritual formation in students and graduates.
