The times in which we live are witnessing the growth of many forms of spirituality and, at the same time, a decline of interest in justice. I think there is. Much spirituality, even that deeply part of the Christian tradition, is escapist and other-worldly.
Many people seek to become spiritual because they think it is safe to do so.
They see spirituality as a cocoon against the problems of the world. The problems of our world are difficult to understand and still more difficult to solve, thus spirituality serves as a convenient avenue of blessed escape. Do not trouble yourself with global warming, you are meditating, experiencing yourself with the alone, the inner emptiness of soul. Do not talk to me about continuing racism, my spiritual life has never been better. Spirituality which does not take incarnation seriously quickly falls into a world-denying activity, feeding the desire to avoid hard decisions or painful actions that might cost something.
