WHAT:     As people everywhere are searching for ways to integrate
          spirituality into their daily lives during these trying
          times, spirituality.com begins its three-week online
          conference, "Spirituality @ Work."  The program will include
          online keynotes from such figures as Dr. George Gallup, Jr.
          and Chicken Soup for the Soul at Work co-author Maida
          Rogerson.  The conference will cover such issues as
          Workplace Issues, Ethics, Unemployment and Balance/Purpose.
          Online chat rooms, panel Q&A discussions, interviews and
          articles with those practicing spirituality at work will
          also be included in the conference program.

WHY:      Bringing value to our daily lives has significantly grown
          in importance over the past two years.  People are striving
          to bring a deeper meaning to their daily activities -
          including their work - and spirituality and prayer are
          playing a leading role in this process.

          A recent spirituality.com study(a) found that:

          --  52% of adults say they have a personal spiritual
              practice that they use on a daily basis.
          --  Of those, 95% believe this spiritual practice helps
              them face and deal with challenges in their work.
          --  61% of adults believe that workplaces in general would
              benefit from having a greater sense of spirituality in
              the work environment.
