Wayne Teasdale was a lay monk who combines the traditions of Christianity and Hinduism in the way of Christian sannyasa. He was co-editor with George Cairns of The Community of Religions. He is convinced that interspirituality - "the sharing of ultimate experiences across traditions" - will be the religion of the third millennium. Teasdale further unpacks this term: "Interspirituality is a holistic understanding of the contemplative experience. It has room for all kinds of experiences, insights, methods of prayer and transformation. It values the experience of totality, intellectual vision, the way of pilgrimage, and forms of movement."
