Laszlo Zsolnai and Bernadette Flanagan (All Hallows College, Dublin City University) develop the International Handbook of Spirituality and Society for Routledge. The Handbookaims to summarize the most important issues and problems  of spiritually-related activities in different fields of social life. Also, it presents approaches and models for  professions working in these domains.  

Spirituality is apparently present in almost every sphere and aspect of social life, especially in the context of crises and vulnerabilities. Spirituality appears in our dealing with nature, home and community, healing, economics and business, knowledge, and education. Professions related to these fields are trying to integrate the spiritual aspect in their underlying theories, working models and practices. The “spiritualization” of the professions includes ecology, agriculture, landscape and urban planning, gardening, tourism, psychological counseling, pastoral care, social work, medicine, nursing, economics, business, law, politics, science, art, technology, architecture, design, fashion, media, and education.

Professional associations are growing to make spirituality a vital perspective in their functioning. Examples include the British Association for the Study of Spirituality, the European SPES Institute, the Management, Spirituality and Religion Interest Group of the Academy of Management in the USA, and the Spirituality, Leadership & Management Network  in Australia.
