Assignment Four: Essay- Spirituality and the Sacred Within
Context
We have covered the similarities and differences that become apparent when looking at religion and spirituality. Religion is sometimes understood to be communal, institutional, legalistic, and ritualistic. Spirituality is often understood as more personal and intimate. Ones spirituality may easily be expressed and encouraged in a particular religious tradition. For some, spirituality seems to be curtailed when trying to express it in a particular religious tradition.
Description
Compose a four-page essay in APA style that describes your understanding of spirituality that expresses the sacred within. Discuss how the use of solitude, silence, imagination, and nature contribute to a sense of reverence for ones own spirituality. You may refer to the readings for this week to assist in your writing. If you use other sources from, please be sure to cite those sources appropriately.

Essay- Spiritual Elders
