Spiritual masters through the ages have devised methods different
than those of science for investigating the great mystery of nature
by, for example, immersing themselves in it, making use of silence,
stillness, and solitude. The scientific and spiritual quests have
been the two great quests of humanity, but somehow a feeling has
developed that science is antagonistic to spirituality. Since the
whole of reality is built up of both matter and consciousness, why
should the quest for the understanding of order in the external
world be antagonistic to the quest for the understanding of order
in the inner world of our consciousness? Science and Spirituality
for a Sustainable World brings together theories, methodologies,
new ideas, experiences, and applications emphasizing the importance
of both spirituality and skill for leadership and sustainable
management, sensitizing leaders and management practitioners toward
the spirituality-skill paradigm, skill-based leadership, and
highlighting the role of spiritual values for environmental
sustainability. Featuring a wide range of topics that focus on the
relationship between spirituality and science such as spiritual
education, management practices, and traditional wisdom, this book
is essential for researchers, academicians, administrators,
managers, professionals, policymakers, and students.
Tilling Sacred Grounds examines Black women's interiority and
negotiation of race, gender, and sexuality in religious spaces and
religious practices. Phillis Isabella Sheppard argues for the
importance of the exchange between interiority and public spaces,
and examines religion in cyberspace, art, ritual, and street
ministry. She refigures the location of religious experience by
retrieving Black women's interiority as religious space. Often
excluded from Black religious studies, interiority is necessary for
understanding Black women's complex and even unconscious
relationship with religion. The book weaves a thread by stressing
that interiority has subjective, intersubjective, conscious,
unconscious, and relational dimensions formed in historical, and
social contexts.
