This project explores how the practice of discernment in the Christian tradition can be beneficial in making faithful and fruitful decisions. It reflects on the theology of discernment in the Christian tradition with particular emphasis on Ignatius of Loyola and the Quaker tradition, as well as in-depth interviews with United Methodist clergy on the practices of discernment that have been helpful to them over the course of their career with an emphasis on how to transition from positive placement settings. It concludes with a guide to assist clergy in matters of spiritual discernment.
