Religion or Spiritual Tradition?

Since early June, I've been keeping an audio journal. Now and then, I will share a clip. This clip is about the difference between a religion and a "spiritual tradition."

I am an everyday theologian working as a writer, garden designer, and pastoral counselor on the north coast of Oregon. After completing an MA in theology then a PhD from the University of St. Andrews in 2000, I continued to pursue my studies—energetically self-educating in theology, spirituality, and the emotional life. I'm currently a Postulant for Ordination in the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon, answering a call into Spiritual Care (chaplaincy). My essays have appeared in Oregon Humanities and Portland Magazine.
