project on spirituality​

Answer 1

Answer:

• To discuss ‘spirituality’, we are joined by Boaz Huss and Steven Sutcliffe. We discuss the genealogy of ‘spirituality’, and its contemporary significance, with particular reference to the New Age movement. The second half focuses on how spirituality may trouble the religion / secular distinction, and its implications for the critical study of religion.

Little consideration is given to its development, and most scholarly work simply dismisses ‘spirituality’ as shallow and commercialised. Boaz Huss argues that “the vehement and disparaging criticism of contemporary spirituality is stimulated by the threat that this new cultural category poses to entrenched scholarly assumptions and research practices” (2014, 58).

Elder Spirituality is a focus whose time has come. Traditionally in the world's religions, the last stage of life is seen as a time for intensified spiritual work as well as for passing on wisdom to other generations. In the United States, a Baby Boomer turns 65 every 7 seconds, and people are living longer in other parts of the world as well. Here at Spirituality & Practice, elders are a growing and important group using our resources for spiritual journeys.

In 2013, Spirituality & Practice launched this Elder Spirituality Project with a series of interactive e-courses. In our announcement we quoted elders who had found wisdom and spiritual community through these affordable and accessible programs. S&P has offered e-courses led by Angeles Arrien, John Chittister, Christina Baldwin, William Martin, Megory Anderson, Joanne Turnbull and Claire Willis, and facilitators from Sage-ing International, our partners in the Conscious Aging Alliance.
