The Spiritual Direction Coordinating Group aims to promote the ecumenical ministry of spiritual direction within the areas of Essex and East London covered by the Dioceses of Chelmsford and Brentwood. A list of known directors is regularly up-dated and is held by each member of the Coordinating Group.

Seven of the Group act as the main area contacts for anyone who wants to obtain a director. The other three Group members may also be approached. All members of the Spiritual Direction Coordinating Group are listed below.
