From Connecticut-In the days following 9/11, houses of worship all over the country were opened during the day for private prayer.
Interfaith worship services were put together quickly, and overall, regular weekend attendance at worship increased.
This is actually true in any time of national crisis, when many more people turn to their faith, for many different reasons.
The reasons, however, have to do with where an individual is on his or her spiritual-life journey.
For some, it is almost the "default" mode of their lives. They have been raised in a household of faith, whatever it may be.
The first reaction for anything -- joy, sorrow, anxiety, confusion -- is to fall on their knees and have a conversation with their God. Every life event, big or small, is entered into with the eyes of faith.
People such as these know that they are on a spiritual journey and rejoice in it daily.
