Experiences of Religious Tradition in America.
[ send me this paper ]
(10 pp) According to Anna-Liza Kosma (2001), "spirituality is like jello. It comes in every imaginable flavor, it's almost impossible to pin down, and your definitions will only last until it morphs into another shape." On the other hand, "sociologist Wade Clark Roof (2000), teaching at the University of California, does come up with two categories for the slippery world of contemporary spirituality: seekers who pursue meaning by sampling a smorgasbord of dishes, and dwellers who feast from a singular table." In this discussion we will be looking at those who "feast from a singular table," and if anything have chosen to "host" that table as well. Included in this discussion will be the first hand accounts as provided in The Chosen by Chaim Potok, Black Elk Speaks by John G Neihardt, and Mama Lola by Karen McCarthy Brown.
