“…Today there is consensus among researchers that spiritual growth is a personal process that cannot be standardized by 'official' teaching and religious education (Hull, 2003). This is fostered by the shift from institutional religiosity to private religiosity (Beit-Hallahmi & Argyle, 1997).…”

This article aims to examine how media and computers can serve as a vehicle for the enhancement of spiritual and religious identity and socialization. An innovative typological model (RSTM) for assessing secularity and religiosity and its implications on the need to utilize advanced information and communication technologies (ICT) are discussed. In addition, another innovative theoretical model (KPIF) describes how, through the use of advanced ICT, information is transformed into knowledge and becomes an integral part of the meaningmaking and identity formation processes. La Construction d'une Identité Spirituelle Multi-Dimensionnelle par le truchement des TICECet article a pour but d'examiner comment les medias et les ordinateurs peuvent servir de vecteurs pour l'enrichissement de l'identité spirituelle et religieuse et de la socialisation. On examine ici les avantages et les inconvénients d'un modèle typologique innovant (RSTM) pour évaluer la religiosité et les implications que cela entraîne en termes de nécessité d'utilisation des technologies avancées de l'information et de la communication (TIC). Par ailleurs, un autre modèle théorique innovant (KPIF) décrit comment grâce à l'usage des TIC avancées, l'information est transformée en connaissance et devient partie intégrante du processus de construction du sens et de formation de l'identité. Der Aufbau einer multidimensionalen geistlichen Identität über ICTDas Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, zu prüfen, wie Medien und Computer als ein Vehikel für die Verbesserung von Spiritualität und religiöser Identität und Sozialisation dienen können. Ein innovatives typologisches Modell (RSTM) für die Beurteilung der "secularity" und Religiosität und ihrer Auswirkungen, dem Bedarf nach der Nutzung fortschrittlicher Informations-und Kommunikationstechnik (ICT), wird erörtert. Außerdem beschreibt ein anderes innovatives theoretisches Modell (KPIF), wie durch die Verwendung von fortschrittlicher ICT Information in Wissen transformiert und ein integraler Bestandteil der Bedeutungserstellung und des Identitätsformungsprozesses werden kann.

“…There are varying interpretations of these concepts and no agreement for a shared ground for religious education to approach issues related to these concepts (see, Hella & Tirri, 2008). Hull (2002) builds on the conceptual differences between meanings of culture, religion, spirituality and faith by looking into distinctions, such as actual vs. potential, extension vs. transcendence, finite vs. infinite. The starting point of his approach is to look at the spiritual formation of personhood from the point of view of potentials which transcend the biological.…”

“…Culture refers to the ways in which a set of myths, actions and institutions which place human life within a symbolic framework actually functions (Hull, 2002). Culture has a spiritual dimension as it transcends the biological, but spiritual is seen as something that helps humans to transcend earlier levels of achievements in order to become truly human.…”

“…Religion is seen as the climax of the spiritual quest, since in religion the transcendent, which is the main characteristic of the spiritual, may attain its height (Hull, 2002). Religion has a potential of reaching this climax, but may not actually reach the highest spirituality.…”

“…Religion has a potential of reaching this climax, but may not actually reach the highest spirituality. According to Hull (2002) the spiritual search is answered in religion, in which we transcend our humanity to the limit where there is no further transcendence. Therefore, religion includes the spiritual, but there may be spirituality outside religion.…”

Helsinki: University of Helsinki. Elina Hella's thesis belongs to the research field of religious education (RE). Th is is a crossdisciplinary field, primarily of theology and the science of education but also of philosophy and specifically the philosophy of religion. Th e thesis consists of 4 parts (11 chapters) describing and discussing Hella's theoretical approach to RE, her empirical research within this field, and the results of this research. In addition there are three chapters based on two published papers and a third one currently in the process of publication (with Andrew Wright as co-author). Th e first two chapters are based on empirical data about ways of understanding Lutheranism among Finnish upper secondary students and teachers of RE. Th e third chapter is theoretical and advocates a particular approach to RE, grounded in critical realism and the so-called variation theory of learning.

Although religion and spirituality typically incorporate significant affective and relational components, only recently have these components been examined both systematically and empirically. In the present study, the expanding literature on attachment was explored to create a theoretical model that emphasizes principles from "relational spirituality" (Hall, 2004), proposing that attachment variables positively predict both spiritual and psychological outcomes and that spiritual outcomes, in turn, positively predict psychological outcomes. The present model also suggests that spiritual engagement variables moderate these relationships. Results based on structural equation modeling provided evidence that our model demonstrated good fit. Additionally, some of the aforementioned relationships were strengthened in those who were more spiritually engaged, while at times attachment appeared to be a more robust predictor for those who were less spiritually engaged. These results are discussed along with encouragement and implications for further research.
