Abstract
The topic of spirituality has been of interest for many years in the helping professions ( Matise et al., 2018 ; Pargament, 2011 ). Another level of interest is how spirituality may be connected to anger that is culturally informed ( Subarimaniam et al., 2020 ). This writing approaches the topic of functional anger as impacted by the religious and spiritual beliefs with case vignettes pertinent to students, pastoral counselors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, psychotherapists, and other helping professionals.
