The Soul Friends are five Texas chaplains who are colleagues with Lifeline Chaplaincy, a non-profit ministry with the Churches of Christ. Using the Anam-Cara model of Celtic Christianity, they seek to support each other for the purpose of spiritual growth, both individually and collectively, and thereby replenish their spiritual and emotional resources. Through reading, retreat and reflection, they will foster pastoral excellence so they may continue to serve others in their spiritually and emotionally challenging ministries.
