Religiosity for the modern age
The majority of people no longer belong to any spiritual community, yet we all still need spiritual fortification. We need places to awaken the spirit and charge ourselves for bringing soul into everyday life. Can we construct a practical spirituality for the disaffected modern person, holding each other accountable for the lives we lead?
