Writing

When I am not busy with spiritual direction, supervision, teaching and church life I like to spend time on whatever writing projects I have on the go. Mostly I find myself writing about issues relating to spirituality, spiritual direction and other forms of spiritual care. My current focus is the application of ideas from narrative therapy to the work of spiritual care. I also have a particular interest in the way power relations operate within this space and in life and ministry more generally.

Some of the writing, mostly of an academic nature, which I have done in the last few years can be found here:  https://laidlaw.academia.edu/davidrcrawley.
