Ananias Training was inspired by the important role Ananias had in sharing the faith and walking with St Paul in his journey to Christ.
Ananias Training is a two part workshop that trains people to walk with others on their faith journey. It helps develop skilful listening, intentional conversation and questions. This training will help you:
– Recognise the stages of another’s spiritual journey through compassionate listening.
– Talk about our relationship with God.
– Share how we came to be a disciple of Jesus.
– Share Jesus’ own story in response to the spiritual hunger of another.
Ananias Training is a process designed to form parishioners with no precious training in accompanying people. The training will use Scripture reflections, video, and facilitated discussions to form other Ananiases. The goal is to form people who can participate in the work of the Holy Spirit by accompanying individuals to Christ.

“The Church will have to initiate everyone —priests, religious and laity — into this ‘art of accompaniment’ which teaches us to remove our sandals before the sacred ground of the other.”
