Progressive Christianity Forum – Esmond Dowdy – The significance of the Spirituality Revolution
Join us for a presentation by Rev Esmond Dowdy on The significance of the Spirituality Revolution.
In recent years there has been a noticeable shift in attitudes towards spirituality, what some call a ‘spiritual awakening’ and others a ‘spirituality revolution’. This transformation is characterised by a departure from traditional religious structures, and a growing interest in new patterns of faith. In this session we will explore the concept of spirituality, its emergence, features, various forms of expression, and significance.
Esmond grew up in Wolseley in the South East, and began his working life as a secondary maths and science teacher. A call to ministry in the late 60s saw him training at Parkin-Wesley College, then serving in parish ministry in the Uniting Church, celebrating 50 years of ordination in 2023. He worked for nearly 30 years at UniSA as the Manager of Student Services across 5 campuses and during this time completed a Masters Degree in Social Science (Counselling). In retirement from 2010, he has been actively involved in supporting refugees, in Progressive Christianity, in ministry, and widely travelling.
