Ministry Description: Since July 2023, Gord has been a spiritual care provider for the Lisaard and Innisfree Hospice. The focus of his ministry is providing psychospiritual counselling to the palliative care clients of the Home and Community Care Support Services (HCCSS, what used to be called the LHIN). Since May 2023, Gord is also a psychospiritual Supervisor-Educator for a Canadian Association of Spiritual Care (CASC) training centre based out of the Community Counselling Centre of London. He provides education and supervision to Masters interns who are seeking to develop their skills in psychospiritual therapy. In taking on this new Supervisor-Educator role, Gord has stepped back from providing 1-1 spiritual direction.
Background: Gord has 25+ years of pastoral experience within Mennonite Church Eastern Canada and has been a spiritual director since 1999. Gord is a trained spiritual director through Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary, and a certified Pastoral Counsellor Specialist and Supervisor-Educator of psychospiritual students for Canadian Association of Spiritual Care (CASC). Since 2006, he has been a student of the Diamond Approach, a sacred psychology built on the insights of modern psychology and the main religious traditions. |
