What is Interspirituality?

The late Brother Wayne Teasdale, author of The Mystic Heart, coined the term “Interspirituality” to describe a new and growing perspective of an emerging spirituality. "All authentic spiritual paths, at their mystical core, are committed to the common values of peace, compassionate service, and love for all creation. An inner life awakened to responsibility and love naturally expresses itself through engaged spirituality, in “acts of compassion…, contributing to the transformation of the world and the building of a nonviolent, peace-loving culture that includes everyone.” (The Mystic Heart)
