Spirituality and Spiritual Development in Youth Work
Following on from the National Youth Agency's consultation on Spiritual Development and Spirituality in youth work, (http://www.nya.org.uk/shared_asp_files/uploadedfiles/21889bba-403e-4bb8-a93f-314bdbd41238_spiritualitybook.pdf) Young People Now is carrying a story about Portsmouth Youth Service who are exploring links between Spirituality, Emotional Intelligence and Mental Health.

What do people think about this?
Is it good that Spirituality is taking on such a broad definition, and so being able to be accessible to everyone, without the term being value loaded and 'claimed' and argued over by different faith groups?
Or is this an example of how spiritual development is becoming more and more blurred into personal development, so much so that 'spiritual' loses it's meaning?
