Spirituality in Religious Education: Implications of Changing Contemporary Contexts

[A Good Guiding Word]

* “Huxley described two thought patterns to all the main religions, the esoteric and the exoteric. The first subscribes to the metaphysic of a divine Reality at the core of being; it is the spiritual, almost secretive face of religion and is practised by only a few adherents. The second is the exoteric form which is the public form by which the religion is usually identified, that is, through its rituals, practices, architecture and so on”.*
