This in-house research project aims to find out what areas/themes or focus
in the field of Spirituality in the Philippines have been studied by researchers;
to identify the methodologies used; and to identify the gaps in the studies
conducted i.e. what areas, aspects or issues that are not explored.
An initial output of this project was presented during the Colloquium on
Research Methodologies in the Study of Spirituality in the Philippines
on June 28-30, 2004.
The research team is now compiling abstracts of theses and dissertations on
spirituality of graduate students in major universities and theological centers
in the country. An analysis of these abstracts will be made to address the
different issues and concerns regarding spirituality studies in the Philippines.

– In coordination with a non-profit
development organization, Management and Organizational Development
for Empowerment (MODE), ISA is conducting a study on the dynamics
between spirituality and development work. This study stemmed from a
Colloquium that ISA and MODE co-organized in 2005 where participants
shared about their experiences and insights on how one’s breath and depth
of personal sense of being and becoming is a basic element in development
work. This in-house research study focused on getting the written reflections
of those who have been/are still in development work for more than 10 years.
This study seeks to explore, articulate and document the spirituality that
drives, nourishes and sustains a development worker.
