There are issues for those at both
ends of the Spiritual Continuum
“Spirituality is
not necessarily
religious or even
dependent on
religion as its
foundation”
(Clive Simpkins)
As Jesus pointed out on
more than one occasion,
religion is often one of
the biggest hindrances
for those on a quest for
true spirituality
“Religion tends to be associated with what
is publicly available such as churches,
mosques, bibles, prayer books, weddings
and funerals” … an increasing number of
people in Western countries want to
distinguish it (spirituality) from religion”
*
There is an
important
distinction that
needs to be made
between “knowing
about God” and
“knowing God”
Howard Gardner
found that the
characteristics of
spirituality did not
lend itself to being
classed as a
neurologically entity
In its statement of aims
the National Curriculum
makes a distinction
between the “Spiritual”
and the “Moral and
Social” elements
The word “worship"
comes from the
Anglo-Saxon,
"weorthscipe," it
means “the act of
focusing on that
which is of greatest
worth"
*Christian worship is a
spiritual act flowing from
their faith in God
