Spirituality and Religion Chacour, Henry et al.

 
Some topics explored include (but are not limited to): - The role of an assumption of inherent sin and exclusive religious dogma in requiring the presence and embodiment of innate evil in the world, and vilifying an ever-present Other as it's expression. - Resources present in spiritual traditions that nurture mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and love, to cultivate a consciousness of peace - with ourselves and "The Other." - Spiritual experiences as a vehicle for establishing universal standards of basic human worth and goodness, and universal standards of behavior that reflect this.
