Metrospirituality

Metrospirituality: Spirituality is the Latest Trend: "Slogans such as “Yoga inspired athletic wear” (Lululemon Athletica), “A taste of Nirvana” (Hampton Chutney), “You can deprive the body, but the soul needs chocolate” (Dagoba Organic Chocolate) or “Products that Nurture” (Aveda) reflect the transition from the traditional way of marketing a product, to marketing a product along with its attached set of spiritual beliefs. "
As my New Testament Professor, Dr. Peter Jones, taught me: Pagan spirituality and affluence go hand in hand.

It was the poor who first embraced Christianity.
