		<description><![CDATA[Check out this article in America magazine by a professor at a Roman Catholic school. His observations on the current needs and contributions of students, as well as their critique of religion, is well taken.  He calls them idealistic realists, which fits well.  Read it and let us know what you think. http://www.americamagazine.org/content/article.cfm?article_id=12681]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I attended a Winter Solstice event held at a United Methodist Church.  On this evening, they did many of the things I have become familiar with from my three years researching alternative spiritualities and the &#8216;spiritual but not religious&#8217; movement.  At this event they &#8220;called the directions&#8221;, had a guided meditation about finding spirit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just came back from the funeral of a dear friend and mentor of mine, Clark Pinnock, held this week in Hamilton, ON.  I met him when I was a student at Regent College, wondering how I &#8212; a journalist, feminist, and former atheist &#8211; ended up in a Christian graduate school. I wasn&#8217;t sure I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The roots of the current &#8220;spiritual but not religious&#8221; movement (if one can call it a movement, since it isn&#8217;t organized as such) got a great boost from the addiction recovery movement of the 1990s.  The connections are both theological and sociological. Oddly enough, the roots of the addiction recovery ethos, particularly as advanced by Alcoholics [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people say it does not matter what people believe, as long as their actions are good. Others insist that religious or spiritual beliefs are private, that they don&#8217;t need to be consistent with each other, or that spiritual things are too mysterious for anyone to come to any conclusions.  Yet when I have interviewed [...]]]></description>
