i just read this and thought it timely for this list:

People in the United States are praying more, reading the Bible
more and seeking one-on-one spiritual counseling. Barna
Research Group finds 44 percent of Americans surveyed in 2004
said they read the Bible weekly outside church, up from 36
percent in 1999. Eighty-three percent of those surveyed in 2004
said they had prayed to God in the past week, up from 77
percent in 1999, the Christian Science Monitor reports. Because
of the demand for one-on-one spiritual counseling, the number
of spiritual directors worldwide is up to 4,300 from 3,500 in
1998, says Spiritual Directors International.
