When? Tuesday, October 6, 10 a.m. CST
Where?CT’s Webinar Page
Why? Because when else will you have a chance to have a conversation with Christian Smith?
If you haven’t yet read Christianity Today‘s interview with sociologist Christian Smith in the magazine’s redesigned October 2009 issue, tune in for the live version, tomorrow morning at 10 CST.
I will be speaking with Christian — professor at the University of Notre Dame and director of its Center for the Study of Religion and Society — about his latest research on young adults. Souls in Transition, The Religious and Spiritual Lives of Emerging Adults in America is the follow-up to his and Melinda Lundquist Denton’s groundbreaking 2005 book, Soul Searching. We will talk about the social and religious instincts of Americans ages 18-29, a group sociologists have coined emerging adults (and one that Christian profiled in his 2007 Books & Culture cover story). Christian and I will also discuss ways the church can root emerging adults in Christ at a time they are most likely to leave all things religious.
Join us for an informative, lively conversation, and come prepared with your own questions for Christian.
