Affilates
CFDM is broadly ecumenical in its Christian principles. Affiliates of CFDM do not represent any particular church or Christian denomination. Their combined contemplative spiritual direction and supervision programs provide resources, support, and training for those called to the ministry of spiritual direction. The following are the affiliates we support and cooperate with our efforts to bring spiritual depth to individuals, groups, and faith communities within the Western Region of the United States.
