Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The final stage in Fowler's system of faith development is the universalizing faith stage, in which individuals have a selfless concern for others and a deep sense of inner peace, and are able to transcend the limitations of personal belief systems to embrace a more universal perspective. This stage is often associated with old age, when individuals are confronted with issues of integrity and meaning as they confront their mortality. The other stages listed (intuitive-projective conjunctive, synthetic-conventional, and individuative-reflective) are all earlier stages in Fowler's system and do not represent the optimal form of faith development.
