Favorite Sites

This section connects you to the favorite sites Wil Hernandez frequents that are directly related to his ministry work in the area of spiritual formation (including activities and events focusing on Henri Nouwen).


Henri Nouwen Official Website [www.henrinouwen.org]
As a member of the Henri Nouwen Society, Wil Hernandez works in close partnership with this group of friends. Everyone is invited to be a friend of the Society. This website (nouwenlegacy.com) depends in large part on the vast resources that are already available for access through the official site of the Henri Nouwen Society.

The Leadership Institute (TLI) [www.tli.cc]
Wil Hernandez works primarily for this parachurch organization that specializes in integrating spiritual formation with leadership development. Currently, he is the Director of the Southern California Postmodern Mission Project, developing a regional network of people, churches, academic institutions, and organizations fostering spiritual formation through a partnership with the Denver-based Spiritual Formation Alliance.

The Spiritual Formation Alliance (SFA) [www.sfanetwork.org]
The Spiritual Formation Alliance is a relational network of Christian organizations and individuals which offers relationships, resources, and activities to other individuals and organizations enabling them to cooperate with the spiritual formation ministry of the Holy Spirit. In direct partnership with TLI, Wil Hernandez fulfills in large part his role as Director of the Southern California (SoCal) Postmodern Mission Project by serving as the coordinator of the SoCal Spiritual Formation Partners - an informal network of church pastors and leaders, staff and faculty in various academic institutions, leaders of parachurch ministries, and spiritual directors involved in the work of spiritual formation.

Fuller Theological Seminary (FTS) [www.fuller.edu]
Wil Hernandez serves as an adjunct professor teaching in the field of spirituality/spiritual formation at Fuller's main campus in Pasadena and several extension sites. He started teaching his first course on the spirituality of Henri Nouwen (SP 511) during the spring quarter of 2005. This website will provide you the latest information and direct you to the most current course he is teaching on Nouwen and other spirituality courses both in the Fuller Pasadena main campus as well as in Fuller's extension sites.
