This movement has been necessitated by shortcomings in understanding spirituality as transcendent. The idea of transcendent is unverifiable and subjective. Moreover, it is possible in the context of specific cultural and religious traditions, but not in a multicultural context. Spirituality in its relational sense is interpreted as a process of developing an intrinsic human capacity that motivates people to search for meaning, purpose, and contribution to life in a social context. The relational aspect of spirituality can be understood as ‘thoughtful love of life’ leading to what may be termed ‘naturalized spirituality’. However, understanding the relational aspect of spirituality has its own problems. This paper indicates some limitations to understanding spirituality as relational and argues that, rather than aiding an understanding of the concept, it creates more confusion. This is because the notion of ‘relational’ (i) does not exclude the transcendent, and (ii) does not distinguish between what is spiritual and what is not.","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"9 1","pages":"20 - 31"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20440243.2019.1581324","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46326997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Better than any other contemporary I can think of, Percy’s great achievement, in my view, is to engage theologically with the social sciences thereby deepening and enriching a modern approach to spirituality, and doing this while staying faithful to Christian orthodoxy. He lays the foundations for a generous, inclusive spirituality that seeks to integrate and make sense of human experience and learning. His other great achievement is to help his readers to see how, in his view, God is at work in contemporary culture and secular learning, and that to ignore God in those contexts is to impoverish faith, worship, and understanding. Despite the pleasure of reading the critical appraisals of Percy’s work in the earlier parts of the book, what I enjoyed more were the extracts of Percy’s own writings in the second half. Percy comes across as pastorally wise, insightful, thoughtful, irenic but not flaccid – with all these virtues set in a winsome prose style. To my mind, he is one of the great, pastor-theologians of the Christian Church today, who has integrated faith with wide-ranging learning in disciplines sometimes regarded as implicitly hostile to faith and spirituality. As a result, his work makes spirituality, churches, and theology attractive, and sometimes exciting! Martyn Percy has not said the last word on much of what he writes about, and I suspect he would be the first to say that; rather, he has helped us to think critically, to welcome secular learning, and to re-consider carefully how we might understand faith and spirituality for and in the twenty-first century. He balances learning from the social sciences with tradition and orthodoxy, and therebyprovides a reasoned, reasonable, and radical challenge to theway inwhichwe construe ourselves, Christian spirituality, and the Church. This is no mean achievement. And if you read nothing else of this book, read Percy’s Afterword, subtitled, ‘ASelf-Critical Retrospect’: it is visionary, prophetic, and almost poetic. It summarizes the heart of Percy’s spirituality and theology.","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"9 1","pages":"75 - 78"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20440243.2019.1581516","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41955437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their team of five was called ‘Trail Magic’, a nod towards one daughter having walked the entire length of the Appalachian Trail in the USA some years ago, accompanied and spurred on by her sister for the first 500 of the 2000+miles of the trail. They have often spoken of the ‘trail magic’ that occurred onmany occasions during that gruelling American trek: of times when, exhausted and hungry, they would come across a box of cookies left in one of the shelters by an anonymous wellwisher; or a signposted invitation to a remote homestead just off the Trail where the owners would offer refreshing drinks and a comfortable respite from the hike. In a good luck message for the South Downs Way event, I sent the team an image of a footpath on which were superimposed the words: ‘Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.’ It seemed an apt sentiment to apply not only to a day devoted to hiking for a good cause on one of England’s most ancient and scenic pathways; but to a day that would inevitably contain some rough, hard-going moments as, with the journey’s end still nowhere in sight, weary legs would have to be coaxed up yet another tough uphill path in order to experience the joys of reaching the finishing line. While I was searching for the provenance of the quotation, it struck me that its sentiment might be applied equally well to the study of spirituality, and especially to the particular mix of studies included in this issue, as I shall outline in a moment. I had thought the words were those of John Muir (1838-1914), the writer, conservationist and ‘founding father’ of the National Parks movement. I have long appreciated his holistic perspective and, when trying to explain the difficulty of ‘getting hold’ of what spirituality ‘is’, I have sometimes drawn on his much-quoted observation: ‘When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe’ (Muir 1911/1988, 110). Recording this in his diary on one of his first expeditions in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Muir continued:","PeriodicalId":42985,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Study of Spirituality","volume":"8 1","pages":"115 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20440243.2018.1523088","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46138772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
