Young adult journeys to faith: A conversation and reflection
Rachel Drury, Rich Miles and Phoebe Turner discuss the new realities of meeting and ministering to young adults
AFTER THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING THE publication and subsequent withdrawal of the Quiet Revival report, on the ground experience from ministers and practitioners continues to see new engagement and interest from young adults arriving for the first time. It may not be a revival at any sort of decimal level, but it raises an important question: what is drawing this generation towards faith?
Drawing on the findings of Young Adult Journeys to Faith in the Church of England, Rachel Drury, Rev’d Rich Miles and Phoebe Turner reflect on changing journeys to faith, what young adults are looking for in churches today, and what these stories might be teaching the Church about discipleship, leadership and mission.
