      abstract = {Dawing on the global research and field-building efforts  of Search Institutes Center for Spiritual Development in  Childhood and Adolescence, this volume frames a new, deeper  dialogue about the intersections between youth development  and spiritual development. Contributors explore ways to  integrate spiritual development and youth development in  order to strengthen theory, research, and practice. They  ask: How do young people develop their deepest, fundamental  commitments?   How do they find their place in their  family, community, world, and universe?  How do they come  to terms with issues of meaning, purpose, and identity  beyond themselves? These are at their core, spiritual  development questions. They are also critical issues in  adolescent development. They are the wellspring of some of  the best within young people and humanity, and the source  of some of the greatest atrocities in society when the  answers lead to alienation, hatred, or violence. The past  decade has seen an explosion in interest in spiritual  development within youth development and related fields.  National youth-serving systems are beginning to ask how  they can effectively address these questions in a society  that has become increasingly diverse and pluralistic. And  the growth of positive, community-based youth development  provides a platform for examining these issues within the  context of an overall commitment to healthy, holistic  development among all young people.},
