My own view is that, whereas the 20th century took things apart, the present one has already begun to put things back together. The problems with this are rife, but still the project is a part of historical development and will go forward, well or not. My own work is about providing the foundations for this 'messy' movement with the hopes that it can be done well and that, when it is, education and educators will know what we are supposed to be doing, and will be better able to do it. Also, a group of educators and myself are developing a related website where I will refer to the works you have provided with regard to relating secular education to the spiritual dimension of adults. In my view, even though we are doing a GREAT job with our on-the-ground education in our programs, we are still overlooking the WHOLE student and, thus, how literacy underpins the whole development of all persons.

I would recommend these materials: New Directions for Adult & Continuing ed #85 - "Addressing the Spiritual Dimensions of Adult Learning: What Educators Can Do" The courage to teach: exploring the inner landscape of a teacher's life - by Parker Palmer Exploring Spirituality and Culture in Adult and Higher Education by Elisabeth Tisdell And her article in a special issue of Adult Learning Magazine (2003?) subtitled Spirituality in Adult Education Building Community for the 21st Century, Joan England, ERIC Digest ED347489 Hope these references help.
