Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'm spiritual but not religious." This is a phrase that 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. 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. According to editor and contributor 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. In fact, religion and spirituality need each other; alone, each is incomplete. The book explores how the split between religion and spirituality occurred over the past few centuries, and verifies how the situation is clearly evident today, especially with young adults. Contributors include Richard Rohr, OFM, Demetrius Dumm, OSB, Camille DeBlasi, Barbara Fiand, SNDdeN, Carl Arico, Anthony Bosco, Roberta Campbell, OSB, Vernon Holtz, OSB, Arthur Schwartz, and Stephen Honeygosky.
