Noting that in Britain all schools are legally required to attend to the spiritual development of their pupils, Wright (King's College London) introduces some of the current debates. He discusses problems of defining spirituality; government legislation; the social dimension of spirituality; secular and religious forms of spirituality in contemporary society; different approaches to spiritual education, including school ethos, collective worship, and cross-curricular teaching; and other matters. His study seeks to further professional development, essentially at the level of the taught masters degree. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
