James Catford, Founding Board Chair of the Center for Christianity and Public Life and former Chair of the Spiritual Formation Effort Renovaré and of SPCK, offers a vision of spiritual formation for activists at our summit, For the Good of the Public.

“Spiritual formation is the difference between black and white and color, between a truncated gospel of just getting people across the line and one that can handle the fine texture of life, between the life of just pushing through—just trying harder—and the life of what Paul provocatively calls ‘keeping in step with the Spirit’ (Galatians 5).” - James Catford
