Learn about and React to the Spiritual Literacy DVD Series
This series consists of 26 half-hour films on 6 DVDs. It is based on our book Spiritual Literacy: Reading the Sacred in Everyday Life. You can read all about it in the Spiritual Literacy Project section of this website (click on the link in the navigation bar at left). You'll find lists of the passages in the book used in the films, testimonials from users, discussion guides, and models for how to use the series in different series. And you can purchase individual DVDs or the entire series online or find out where to send a purchase order.

Use this forum to ask questions about the DVDs and share your general comments about them. We've also set up forums where you can discuss them volume-by-volume.

Great success using DVDs for Adult Ed
We used the Spiritual Literacy DVDs for our Lenten Adult Ed classes. Each Sunday we watched a different practice and discussed it. The discussions were very animated. The DVD triggered many reactions and thoughts. After the series, we ordered a set of DVDs for the church (we used our personal copy for the classes). Highly recommended.

DVDs great for Everyday Spirituality
We used the DVDs for a summer course called "Everyday Spirituality" on 6 evenings during last summer. We selected 6 topics, one topic per week, and viewed the DVD, then followed the suggested format for individual meditation time and group discussion. We had 13 folks in the class, all ages, men and women. They enjoyed it so much and want to do it again.

dvd series
Over the past 24 weeks (we have two weeks left to go) we have been using Spiritual Literacy and the Spiritual Literacy DVD's in a sermon series at our church. We purchased books for about 1/5 of the congregation, and then asked people to read along with us as we made our way through the alphabet. In the beginning we used pieces of the DVD as part of the sermon itself and asked people to comment on their practice of the alphabet that week. We've posted some of the comments on our website arvadaumc.org under the Spiritual Literacy Button.
I'd be glad to chat with any other pastor who is thinking about using the series.

Excited to find them!
Namaste kind folks,
I placed my order for the dvd set early this week and can't tell you how sweet the anticipation is waiting for them to arrive in the mail!
And I'm so grateful they made them available for purchase...I can hardly wait to share them with the (too) few friends i have that may appreciate their spiritual significance.
