Abstract

The chapter helps educators understand an important distinction between the terms, “Spirituality” and “Religion” by drawing upon findings from past and present scholars and from current scientific breakthroughs. Based on the author's long-term study involving participants from religious and non-religious backgrounds, various forms of spirituality are presented and labelled to facilitate discourse. The findings are further classified and presented as a framework of Seven Spiritual Identities. Structure, vocabulary, and contexts are provided to help educators understand this difficult topic and offers ideas to nurture spirituality in diverse public and secular school settings.
