Spiritual Harmony

Many boomers are discovering that something is missing. Increasingly, they are looking for deeper meaning, greater satisfaction and new direction in life. The number of Baby Boomers that choose to follow religious patterns of their ancestors has decreased. While many babyboomers are uninformed about the richness and diversity of their own religious traditions, their plaits and hostility are understandable. Many women have no further patience for a patriarchal church that evolves glacially at best. Sexual abuse or hypocrisy by some clergy, historical injustices perpetrated by the churches on our aboriginals, unwillingness to accommodate progressive forces — all have dimmed the attraction of institutionalized religion.
