I think we can all agree that a propensity for belief in the divine, the
supernatural, call it what you may is becoming increasingly frowned upon
in today's modern secular society.
I'm not particularly religious although I am a regular church goer and
am often to be seen in the lytchett gate hobnobbing it with the vicar
after he's deklivered a particularly thought provoking sermon.
I do, however concede, that I attend church more to maintain my social
standing in the village rather than to fulfil any spiritual obligations set out by Christian doctrine.
That said, I do believe in spririt and I do believe in angels and I often feel there is a spirit guardian watching over me as I wend my way
through life.
The militant secularism on display in modern Britain doesn't rest easy
with me. *I often wonder how those recently bereaved feel when they are
belittled by the likes of Richard Dawkins just because they seek comfort in the belief that their loved one has gone on to a better place.
I also think there are more people in Britain with spiritual beliefs
than the media would have you believe. *They may not follow any
prescribed religion but the desire to satisfy a spritual yearning is
evidenced by the growth of adherents of diciplines such as Kabbalah and
Buddhism.
So, where do you fit into the spectrum of faith?
