Definition
Mutual support groups whose members are individuals who are questioning their religion or experiencing a loss of faith, willingly or unwillingly leaving a religion (particularly a fundamentalist one), converting to a new religion, or who have questions relating to religious or spiritual values; are having experiences such as visions or near-death experiences which they are having difficulty interpreting and integrating; or are clergymen or women or others who are losing their religious vocation and want to leave their order. The groups meet in-person, by telephone or via the Internet; and allow participants to share their experience, strengths and hopes and resolve any ambivalence they may have as they begin a new life.
