from
their website, www.interspiritualwisdom.org The
religious landscape of the world is changing. No longer solely dominated by separate and
securely entrenched religious institutions, the religious lives of people, especially
people in the United States, Canada and other postindustrial nations, are increasingly
defined by a sense of individual freedom, universality and association with more than one
religious or spiritual tradition.
By encouraging
InterSpirituality we do not intend the blending of religions or the ending of religious
diversity. On the contrary, by InterSpirituality we mean the increasing spiritual
creativity emerging from the meeting of, and dialogue between, the world’s major
religious traditions. This meeting acknowledges differences between religions and affirms
the greater unity they all share. This unity provides the common ground from which
religious diversity flowers. People are discovering that their respect for and love of the
religion of their birth need not preclude a similar respect for the full range of human
spiritual creativity.
This discovery
is fueling the growing interest in InterSpiritual study, practice, and lifestyle. We aim,
therefore, to encourage “the recovery of the shared mystic heart beating in the
center of the world’s deepest spiritual traditions.” InterSpirituality is a
profound way of working toward the goal of global understanding, respect, and peace by
elucidating the common themes, methodologies, meanings and truths of the world’s
religions while respecting the unique gifts and particularities of each tradition.
