Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly features "May 14, 2010: Spiritual Direction" showcasing spiritual direction between two experienced spiritual directors from the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation in Washington, USA.

Host, Bob Abernethy says, "From time to time on this program we have referred to spiritual direction and spiritual directors." Spiritual Directors International thanks PBS for highlighting spiritual direction, and helping people learn about this ancient, contemplative practice that can be for of value to everyone.

The video and transcript highlight the actual session between Bill Dietrich, a Quaker, and Jean Sweeney, a Catholic. Abernethy writes:

"Spiritual directors say what they do is more like prayer than therapy, not so much counseling as helping people sense God’s presence. Every spiritual direction session is probably different, but this is what happened in the conversation we covered."
