Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Sharon Parks (1986), who has done significant work with young adult spiritual formation, suggests that one of the most important aspects of a belief system is that it is based on a foundation that is strong enough to handle the changes and challenges of life. According to Parks, spiritual belief systems do not need to be based on truth, evidence, or religion.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 4, 5
Explanation: The desire to live in harmony with the transcendent, the need to answer questions about life that go beyond that which we encounter directly, and the need to recognize something that is bigger than ourselves, are all components of an individual's spirituality. The desire to attend religious ceremonies and the need to worship the transcendent are components of formal religion, not individual spirituality.
