?I'm not religious, but I'm spiritual.? This oft-repeated phrase is heard more and more lately. The purpose of this book?and of the symposium out of which it grew?is to repair the perceived dichotomy between religion and spirituality. According to editor and contributor, Father Stephen Honeygosky, religion too often presumes spirituality, and spirituality just as often dismisses religion. Each camp takes to the high ground of disconnection and mutual exclusion, he says, but they should be meeting on the ?plain? where real conversation and communion foster compatibility and mutual growth. The ten contributors here believe and argue that there is more to ?religion? than structure, rules, and rituals, and there is more to ?spirituality? than individualism and disconnection. They agree that a common meeting ground can and should be found and that thoughtful, in-depth conversation will clarify the essential links between them. Their goal and the goal of this book is to foster compatibility and growth for both. Contributors include Richard Rohr, OFM, Demetrius Dumm, OSB, Camille DeBlasi, MA, Barbara Fiand, SNDdeN, Carl Arico, Anthony Bosco, Roberta Campbell, OSB, Vernon Holtz, OSB, Authur Schwartz, and Stephen Honeygosky.

Since the 1971 White House Conference on Aging in the United States, the need to move from religiosity into new areas such as Spiritual Assessment and Spirituality has emerged. This movement has picked up momentum among scholars, particularly in terms of research in the area of Spirituality. While spirituality as a term is employed in many new studies, this term continues to defy the quest for a single definition and method. This book is divided into three sections. In the first the authors reflect on the philosophical and theological issues presented by these terms from a variety of both cognate and practical methodological approaches. The second section offers insights from the major professions of sociology, psychology, public health, nursing and social work. The final section offers insight and assistance to researchers and authors on specific religious traditions. This book will be important for anyone working to develop such practical tools as spiritual assessment forms to those who engage in more formal scholarly investigation.

Rational spirituality... surely this is a contradiction in terms? How can spirituality be rational, when it relies on faith and revelation? The simple answer is it does not have to any more. Modern science tells us there is far more to the universe than the physical world we all perceive. And the explanation that most closely fits the facts for a range of verifiable phenomena, from near-death experiences to past-life memories, is that the soul exists separately from the physical body and reincarnates repeatedly. This book could only have been written in the twenty-first century, because it uses the latest breakthroughs in scientific and psychological research to produce a truly revolutionary view of spirituality. By comparing this modern evidence with thousands of years of spiritual traditions, it finally provides rational answers to some of the most significant and intriguing questions ever posed by the human race: What experiences do we have in the interlife between incarnations? Do we plan all the major circumstances of our lives, both good and bad? How does karma operate? Does it really involve action and reaction? Can we be punished in the ways that traditional religions suggest? What practical steps can we take to ensure our karma is progressive rather than repetitive? Piece by piece, this book uncovers startling evidence to support a scientific and rational belief in reincarnation and the interlife. It brings together a wide range of research including the incredible insights of thousands of ordinary regression subjects in a logical, objective way to produce a major breakthrough in our approach to spirituality. No one who reads this book will ever view life in the same way again. The spiritual worldview it describes is coherent and rational, and has the capability to propel humanity forwards to previously unexplored levels... if only we will let it.
