Archaea is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Fowler Developmental Stages of Faith

Did anybody read the concluding chapters of the book?

I found his conclusions, though qualified as speculative what I would have predicted from his research and quite illuminating, even inspiring.

It also predicted for me before I read the final chapters that most faith communities are in the individuative reflective faith stage. This seems true of the LDS Church.

He spent too little time on his speculation regarding what he believes is necessary for such faith communities to become universalizing. Perhaps SEIQ you can tell us if his other works discuss this.
