General Spirituality
- Patheos – a wonderfully rich resource full of approaches to spirituality. A couple of blogs within that site (but there are many more that are incredible):

- Carl McColman’s blog on Patheos and website – a story teller, Spiritual Friend, and Celtic guide
- Renovare – an organization dedicated to spiritual formation within a Christian tradition, with connections to Richard Foster (of Celebration of Discipline fame)
- Pray as You Go – a website/app designed to help develop a habit of prayer
- A Deeper Story – engaging Christianity and culture through the power of story
- Encountering Silence – a podcast that “explores the beauty and importance of silence from many angles, not just the religious/spiritual/mystical, but also reflecting on the psychology of silence, silence and the arts, silence and politics, silence and education… the list goes on.”
“If you comprehend it, it is not God.” ~St. Augustine
