In Episode 13 of “Vows, Vocations, and Promises: Discerning the Call of Love,” Dr. Mary Anne Urlakis interviews guest Dan Almeter regarding his regarding his chapter in the recently published text: Spiritual Husbands- Spiritual Fathers: Priestly Formation for the 21st Century, edited by Bishop Felipe Estevez and Bishop Andrew Cozzens, published by Holy Apostles College and Seminary’s Enroute Books and Media. Dan authored Chapter 12, entitled: A Testimonial and Some Pastoral Wisdom, in which he discusses the salient and sensitive topic of transitory same-sex attraction.

After earning a Master of Education in Counseling from Augusta University in 1998, Dan has worked as a licensed professional counselor for over two decades and is credentialed a credentialed spiritual director. Dan is also the long-time leader of the Alleluia Community in Augusta, Georgia- a community that has been blessed by the Holy Spirit, and produced over 15 vocations to the ministerial priesthood and religious life. Dan’s own background includes 6 years of seminary formation and he has headed the Spiritual/Pastoral Formation Team in the Alleluia Community since 1980. In 2010, Dan was appointed Moderator of the Alleluia Catholic Fellowship by the Bishop of Savannah, Georgia, and in 2013, he was elected as leader of the Catholic Fraternity of Charismatic Covenant Communities and Fellowships of North America- a private canonically recognized Pontifical Association.

Dan travels nationally and internationally speaking on three primary topics: growing deeper in prayer, ecumenism, and the truth about same sex attraction. Dan’s book, “Unity: On Earth as in Heaven” has been translated and published in Polish. In this very special interview, Dan discusses his contribution to the book Spiritual Husbands- Spiritual Fathers: Priestly Formation for the 21st Century, while sharing his own personal story and professional perceptions regarding transitory same-sex attraction and grace of healing. Throughout the chapter, “A Testimonial and Some Pastoral Wisdom,” Dan weaves significant themes from the Ratio Fundamentalis with professional insights, and offers concrete tools for formators, rectors, and bishops as they seek to identify appropriate seminary candidates.

Spiritual Husbands-Spiritual Fathers: Priestly Formation for the 21st Century is published by Enroute Books and Media and can be purchased at https://enroutebooksandmedia.com/spiritualhusbands/ as well as on Amazon.com.
