The Spirituality Revolution

Description

This text argues that we are in the midst of a spiritual revolution. Churches are emptying and religious leaders are finding their status and authority increasingly challenged. Meanwhile the New Age movement continues to grow in popularity. Interest in indigenous tribal religions, in witchcraft, astrology, alchemy and long-forgotten mysterious sects and cults has never been greater. What is happening to our society? What does this change tell us about our society? What does this change tell us about our beliefs, our needs and where we are headed?
