In contemporary religious writing we find a growing number of what I would call "regional spiritualities": creation spirituality with its attention upon the environment, feminist spiritualities with its justice-driven concern for gender issues and its theological insight, born of women's experience, into the nature of God, liberationist spiritualities developed from within the worlds of black and Latino experience, spiritualities developed for people suffering from AIDS, or for the elderly, ecumenical spirituality for people engaged in inter-religious dialogue, and so forth. Each has something to offer to the wider church, to enrich our common religious heritage.
