The Spiritual Literacy Blog

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

In their book, Spiritual Literacy: Reading the Sacred in Everyday Life, the Brussats wrote:

Life is a sacred adventure. Every day we encounter signs that point to the active presence of Spirit in the world around us. Spiritual literacy is the ability to read the signs written in the texts of our own experiences. Whether viewed as a gift from God or a skill to be cultivated, this facility enables us to discern and decipher a world full of meaning.

Spiritual literacy is practiced in all the world's wisdom traditions. Medieval Catholic monks called it 'reading the book of the world.' Muslims suggest that everything that happens outside and inside us is a letter to be read. Native Americans find their way through the wilderness by 'reading sign.' From ancient times to today, spiritually literate people have been able to locate within their daily life points of connection with the sacred.

The Spiritual Literacy Blog is their attempt to read the book of the world as revealed through articles and images available on the Internet.
