In this lecture, we focused on spirituality – which is something that isn’t familiar to me. I came to the definition that it is a belief which isn’t always associated with religion or church. The ‘unchurched’ nature of religion has materialised due to the decrease in religion and the decrease of its importance in todays society. In todays inputs, I learned that spirituality is self governing, very individualised to personal beliefs and gives individuals a belief of believing in something without belonging to a group. We then learned about criticisms of unchurched spirituality which broadened my knowledge on this topic. We learned that because spirituality does not have a church or place of worship – the effect it has on society is very limited. After this, I still found it difficult distinguishing the similarities and differences of religion and spirituality as they are both beliefs just practised in different ways. We also learned about social issues such as suicide and any deviation of any social norm can be solved by religion. This is because it gives individuals a sense of community and helps people in their time of need through food donations. After this lecture, I feel a lot more opened to different views of individuals around the world.
