Spiritual Manifestos: Visions for Renewed Religious Life in America from Young Spiritual Leaders of Many Faiths

By transforming our faith traditions in light of today’s increasing diversity, the search for community, the Internet and our changing lifestyles, these young, visionary spiritual leaders are helping to create the new spirituality. Ten contributors, most in their mid-thirties, span the spectrum of religious traditions-Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Unitarian, Buddhist-and offer their visions, bold spiritual manifestos, for transforming our faith communities and our lives. Hear how one Catholic priest proclaims all religion and spirituality ought to be zesty, passionate, rich and deep ; how one rabbi serves a congregation on the web for Microsoft and rides in squad cars on drug busts in New York City; how a self-described Zen priest is serving an Episcopal church in Alaska; and how a talented young woman lives her wild and precious life changing the world as a nun.
