For my best friend, one of the functions of her religious practice (tho not the only one, or even necessarily the primary one) is to make spiritual experience more likely -- she doesn't always have spiritual experience at church, but she's more likely to at church than anywhere else.
For me, spiritual experiences aren't something I particularly seek. What I want out of communal religious stuff is: * exposure to and engagement with Scripture * music * community * prayer (wow, I realized I left this off the email I sent about this topic last night)
... And I have a phonecall to make, so won't elaborate on that list atm.
