David Tacey reflects on the divide between Religion and Spirituality, which he sees as separated continents drifting apart in the ocean. This divide reflects a crisis and the only kind of religion that will meet the needs of the post-modern and post-secular era will be mystical and existential in nature.
This Talk was part of a John Main Seminar in Hamilton, New Zeland.
