ABSTRACT This article explores how our inner peace and spirituality are linked. It begins by very briefly mentioning ‘mindfulness’ and ‘watchfulness’, then expounds a different contemplative approach set out in the letters of Evelyn Underhill (1875–1941), a significant writer on spirituality in the first half of the twentieth century. During the Second World War, Underhill wrote to a group of women who named themselves ‘The Theological Kindergarten’, outlining spiritual practices for maintaining inner peace amidst the chaos of war. Underhill believed the roots of war lie in the spiritual realm and should be fought there, so she encouraged the women to undertake ‘spiritual war-work’, praying for the dictators. She encouraged the women to develop rhythms of daily contemplative prayer and meditation upon spiritual writings and liturgy to help them gain inner peace. Underhill also encouraged the women to try to accept their suffering and look beyond it to Eternity as well as being alert and expectant of God’s intervention. Rest and self-care were also emphasised, plus limiting exposure to war news. The current COVID-19 pandemic has often been referred to as a ‘war’ against an invisible enemy. The spiritual practices and posture that Underhill recommended to the ‘Theological Kindergarten’ during wartime provide insights regarding the cultivation and maintenance of inner peace during our current uncertain times of living with COVID, plus our global insecurity with wars and rumours of wars.

ABSTRACT Raimon Panikkar was a Spanish theologian with Indian roots whose reflections on monasticism were at once creative and inspiring. He aimed to renew the monastic tradition not in the sense of restoration but rather aggiornamento, namely, bringing it up to date. His scholarly considerations were matched with a personal tendency toward solitude, although seen as a complement to rather than a priority in an integrated life. This article is primarily a study of Panikkar’s engagement with monasticism as a positive resource for spirituality but also as an avoidance of accountability. While reviewing both Panikkar’s intellectual constructions and personal aspirations, reframed within the concept of ‘cosmic monasticism,’ I identify their main characters and limits. Among the former, I consider the assumption that the human spirit is naturally oriented toward grace; regarding the latter, I mention the omissions of the role of grace and of rules in spiritual development associated with ‘new monasticism’.

ABSTRACT This article is based on work undertaken by Culham St Gabriel’s Trust, a charitable organisation in the UK which is committed to the development of ‘a broad-based, critical and reflective education in religion and worldviews contributing to a well-informed, respectful and open society.’ The article highlights the results of a survey by the Trust in June 2021 which aimed to establish a baseline regarding the public perception of religious education (RE) in schools, and wider views around religious-, spirituality-, belief- and worldview-literacy. The Trust plans to use this baseline to measure the impact of interventions and campaigns through its own programmes and grant-funded projects over the coming years. Previous surveys have suggested that the UK population has negative perceptions of religious education; however, these new results indicate that the majority of those surveyed have a positive view of the subject and value the importance of religious and belief literacy in a range of contexts. The article sets out the key findings of the survey; it also includes some personal reflections and analysis, as well as reference to media engagement. Alignment of the results with pupil perspectives is considered, and finally conclusions are drawn about potential next steps and use of the findings in programme and policy development.
摘要本文基于英国慈善组织Culham St Gabriel’s Trust开展的工作，该组织致力于发展“一种基础广泛、批判性和反思性的宗教和世界观教育，为建立一个知情、尊重和开放的社会做出贡献。”这篇文章强调了信托基金会2021年6月的一项调查结果，该调查旨在建立一个关于公众对学校宗教教育的看法的基线，以及关于宗教、精神、信仰和世界观素养的更广泛观点。信托基金计划在未来几年通过自己的方案和赠款资助的项目，利用这一基线来衡量干预措施和运动的影响。此前的调查表明，英国民众对宗教教育持负面看法；然而，这些新的结果表明，大多数受访者对这一主题持积极看法，并在各种背景下重视宗教和信仰素养的重要性。文章阐述了调查的主要结果；它还包括一些个人的反思和分析，以及对媒体参与的参考。考虑了结果与学生观点的一致性，最后得出了关于潜在的下一步行动以及在计划和政策制定中使用调查结果的结论。

ABSTRACT This article describes the background to, and focus of, a new and extensive research program being undertaken at the Corvinus Institute for Advanced Studies of the Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary. Entitled the Economy and Religion Program, it aims to explore and study the multiple roles that religion and spirituality play in the functioning of the economy. It focuses on the contemporary issues of capitalism in relation to ethics and morality; ecology and sustainability; and social inequality and cultural diversity. It is intended to foster a spirit of open dialogue that seeks collaboration across disciplines, cultures and faith traditions.

ABSTRACT This article offers findings from a small study of staff and student experiences in a tertiary educational context at Tabor Institute of Higher Education, South Australia. Participants were invited to complete three curated labyrinth walk and reflection activities over a period of three months as an extra-curricular opportunity for experiential spiritual practice. Analysis of the rich narrative data from participants’ experiences reveals the potential of the labyrinth ritual to enable transformative insights of significant depth and meaning to individuals. Three of the themes which emerged from the data are presented in this article. The first relates to a heightened sense of the dissolution of individual identity into a greater sense of connectivity or fusion with, and to, elements of nature, such as rock, water, and sand. The second speaks of deep emotional connection and processing of a pivotal, personal historical turn in spiritual awareness. The third relates to a movement into unusual peace, a sense of the living and fluid nature of time and space, and the agency of ritual practice as active and something that is ‘at work in the person’ rather than passive, with the person doing the work of the ritual. The researchers were struck by two phenomena in the process. Firstly, the poignant efficacy of non-didactic ritual for spiritual education and growth. Secondly, the interactive and dynamic relationship between the desire of the participants for deep experience, the actual practice of the labyrinth walk, and the importance of mindfulness and context-sensitive curation of the events.
