Re: [Air-L] Religious Dimension of Sustainable Development

I use "religion" in the general sense of a personal relationship with God by anyone who believes (as I do) that there is a God.

This is a sociologically and historiographically narrow understanding of religion, even for the Christian tradition, which you seem to be narrowing in on. Within the Christian tradition, the notion of a personal relationship with God didn't really arise until quite recently (last couple centuries at most), and is mainly limited to the charasmatic and fundamentalist traditions, though it seems to have become more widespread in the past couple of decades. --Christian Nelson
