Cascadia : the elusive Utopia : exploring the spirit of the Pacific Northwest  Cover Image Book Book

Cascadia : the elusive Utopia : exploring the spirit of the Pacific Northwest / editor, Douglas Todd.

Todd, Douglas, 1953- (Added Author).

Summary:

This collection explores the unique spirituality and culture of Cascadia, which includes British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. Envied around the world, Cascadia is famous for its mountains, evergreens, and livable cities. Less well known is that Cascadia is home to the least institutionally religious people on the continent. Despite this, Cascadia: The Elusive Utopia argues that most of the region's 14 million residents feel deeply "spiritual." Many gain their sense of the sacred from the spectacular and imposing land.--From cover.
