Spiritual Formation
December 5, 2023
Spiritual formation is the process of being transformed by the love of God into the image of Christ in intention, thinking and behaviour, becoming a tangible representation of God’s love in the world. A good simple definition from Robert Mulholland is, “Spiritual formation is a process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others.”
