Religion and Responsibility
In part 3 of the Religion and Spirituality series we discuss the Seven Spiritual Hungers by Howard Clinebell. They are:
- Experience the healing and empowerment of love—from others, self, and an ultimate source.
- Experience renewing times of transcendence—expansive moments beyond the immediate sensory spheres.
- Have vital beliefs that lend meaning and hope in the midst of losses, tragedies, and failures.
- Have values, priorities, and life commitments centered in issues of justice, integrity, and love to provide guidance in personally and socially responsible living.
- Discover and develop inner wisdom, creativity, and love of self.
- Develop a deepening awareness of oneness with other people, the natural world, and all living things.
- Have spiritual resources to help heal grief, guilt, resentment, unforgiveness, self-rejection, and shame and deepen experiences of trust, self-esteem, hope, joy and love of life.
Spiritual Experience and Responsibility
As we progress spiritually we have a responsibility to express what we have learned in our behavior.
