How about 'beyond ourselves'? Though I know that doesn't express a more holistic weaving of it through us.

The way to change an area is to allow and encourage interesting things to happen
Council has a key role in allowing and encouraging. By law it must balance the interests of various parties including residents, businesses, future citizens and the sustainability of the natural and built environments we all depend upon. The private sector has a woeful record at that, which kind of argues against a free market 'solution'.

I defy *anyone* to adequately define ‘spirit’ or ‘spirituality.’
I've seen spirituality defined as a connection with something greater than ourselves. That seems to encompass nature and humanity as well as traditional religions, to me.

Totally agree. Though removing religion as a charitable purpose in the Charities Act might not be a simple thing.

That would be one way to take care of Destiny Church and Scientology. The mainstream churches that have actual charitable activities would be OK, but DC and CoS would really struggle to meet the registration requirements.
Don't Density have govt contracts for non-profit education/social services? Though 'non-profit' might take advantage of those church-only exemptions to the accumulation of worldly goods like flash cars, clothes and houses.
