Gary:
I wonder about your distinction that ther are no "acts" of spirituality.
The way the term is so often applied precisely seeks to underscore the
idea that spirituality has to do with the "lived" dimension of religion,
how we appropriate our beliefs.
Something else for us to think about regarding this term is the way that
scholars of the High Middle Ages attempt a conscious demarcation of
"spirituality" at the beginning of the 12thC., often as a by-product of
the idea that the so-called indiviual springs up ex nihilo at that time
too. But doesn't this occlude so much else that can be analized in terms
of spirituality?
Sorry for the sloppy reference: It's Walter, not William, Principie, as
George points out.
