Call them what you will, they're a dominant force in American religion and the majority among Millennials and Gen Zers. In \u003ci\u003eChurch Tomorrow? \u003c\/i\u003eStephanie Spellers presents hard truths about declining religious affiliation in America, paired with stories and wisdom from her interviews with dozens of young people who either grew up with no faith or gave up formal religion. Along the way, she joins hundreds in a yoga circle at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral; in in Atlanta, Georgia, she attends Sunday Assembly, a secular congregation that caters to agnostics and atheists; just outside the Twin Cities, she interviews college students exploring crystals and tarot decks; and in New York City she comes home to meet spiritual-but-not-religious young adults who once attended her own church. And that's only the beginning.\u003cp\u003eAs she listens and learns, Spellers asks: Why are younger generations passing on church? What spiritual pathways and communities are they creating? And how could their insights help to shape the future of Christian community? Listen up - today's young Nones and Dones have a prophecy for the church of tomorrow. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Spellers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morehouse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.43w x 1.02d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781640658608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpellers, Stephanie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie Spellers\u003c\/b\u003e served as Presiding Bishop Michael Curry's Canon for Evangelism and Reconciliation.
