A spiritual friend is to be directive and challenging but never judgmental.

 "You do well to correct. You do not do well to reprove. The mind rebels against reproof. It is humbled at being corrected." The fellowship has opted to be run by management structures rather than led by spiritual directors. Those in the SBR Fellowship will seek the consensus model of governance rather than a democratic or hierarchical model.
