How to Find a Spiritual Community. The premise of the writer of this book is that spirituality is something that is best approached in the company of fellow travellers. We need the advice and support of others for our own spiritual growth. However, there are a great number of people who have had bad experiences with spiritual communities as basic as our own families or the churches of our childhood. This book is a guide for how to sort out those feelings and take up the task of reconnecting with others who want to work on their spiritual lives together.
People are hungry for spiritual community today.
And yet our church and many others are dwindling in number. Something is wrong with this picture. For their spiritual poverty and we are shutting them out. People are wandering in the wilderness of solitary spiritual quests that are taking them nowhere, and we are not seeking them out. If we as a congregation are to fulfill the Second Great End of the Church, we must provide more opportunities for people to connect with us for Spiritual Fellowship.
