DTS has consistently said the school does not promote the&#8221; bad&#8221; Spiritual Formation, but we have reported on a number of occasions that the Spiritual Formation taught and promoted at DTS IS contemplative spirituality (which is bad). As we have maintained since the inception of Lighthouse Trails &#8211; there is no &#8220;good&#8221; Spiritual Formation as it always leads to the mystics and puts practitioners in harm&#8217;s way. DTS is no exception. Our reader (who is a DTS alumni) told us he has been receiving update letters from DTS for years, and this is the first time he has seen them actually mention Spiritual Formation in an alumni letter. You can read an enlarged version of the letter by clicking on the letter below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23814 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fb-bkt-epic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"216\" \/>One thing to note about this letter is the following statement: &#8220;Most students are required to be part of a spiritual formation small group of six to eight students who meet weekly for two years.&#8221; This lines up with the special report Lighthouse Trails released in 2013 titled &#8220;<u><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">An <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/?p=11923\">Epidemic<\/a> of Apostasy \u2013 How Christian Seminaries Must Incorporate \u201cSpiritual Formation\u201d to Become Accredited,&#8221;\u00a0 <\/span><\/u>which shows how many, if not most, Christian colleges, seminaries, and universities <em>must<\/em> include Spiritual Formation into their students&#8217; lives if the schools want to receive accreditation from &#8220;distinguished&#8221; accrediting organizations.
