The site is organized around "The Alphabet of Spiritual Literacy," 37 essential practices of the spiritual life. With the Alphabet, Spirituality & Practice is building bridges
. . . between the world's religions. The 37 Alphabet practices are recognized as markers of the spiritual life in all the traditions. They represent commonalities in a world of diversity.
. . . between ancient wisdom and practices and today's spiritually independents. Seekers may not identify with a particular religion, but they embrace such Alphabet practices as being present, compassion, gratitude, love, transformation, and wonder as ways to live richer and deeper lives.
. . . between the spiritual traditions and the popular culture. By identifying how today's books, movies, and music illustrate the Alphabet practices, we are creating connections between the sacred and the mundane.
. . . across political and cultural divides. People who hold a wide variety of different perspectives still value the spiritual qualities reflected in the Alphabet.
