This collection of vignettes focuses on those projects and communities that are successfully innovative—by which we mean they are: 1) Novel: providing a new concept, context, offering, or pathway for engaging spirituality, while remaining 2) Rooted: growing out of and/or learning from existing spiritual or religious systems or traditions. We believe the best innovations grow out of a specific lineage or context rather than seeking to create ex nihilo, and so in sharing these vignettes, we seek to highlight projects that achieve excellence in both novelty and rootedness.
