Abstract
The conclusion argues for the necessity of grappling with what has been lost with the exile of the sacred . This includes the necessity of bringing the wisdom of the world’s religious traditions back into the public sphere. The authors argue that this does not necessarily entail a return only to the past but also the need to revivify the practices of religion and spirituality making them relevant and available.
