In recent years spirituality has become one of the defining concepts in societal-religious discourse and at the same time has become such a vague term that it can hardly be grasped. 1 Therefore, the religious education scholar Fulbert Steffensky 2 justifiably writes in his book “Black Bread Spirituality” that an inflationary use of the word spirituality does more damage than good to people; spirituality could even become a misleading term. This i…
