An examination of the new age movement: Who is involved and what constitutes its spirituality
Through substantial new quantitative research, I have found that participants of the New Age Movement are not young and not especially well-off, but tend to be middle-aged or older, and are represented throughout the entire economic spectrum. Moreover, their spirituality encompasses a wide variety o...

520 | |a Through substantial new quantitative research, I have found that participants of the New Age Movement are not young and not especially well-off, but tend to be middle-aged or older, and are represented throughout the entire economic spectrum. Moreover, their spirituality encompasses a wide variety of influences drawn from all religious traditions and spiritual concerns. While a great deal of social and spiritual common focus seems to exist in the Movement as a whole, my findings show that there is no one specific type of person who might be considered as being particularly active in the New Age. Furthermore, because of the wide variety of spiritual influences and the individual nature of participants' spiritual quests, there does not appear to be a strong leaning to any one type of spirituality from which a more formalised New Age religious institution might arise. Through this new research, many claims about who is involved in the New Age Movement and what form their spirituality might take have been reviewed and I demonstrate that there are sizeable inaccuracies among the reports of some commentators. | ||
