Our take on how to characterize, and study, what’s happening in US religion right now. Feels almost wrong that writing a paper with these folks was so much fun.

This is a great program, one open to folks in both the social sciences and humanities. The cohorts really do come together as a scholarly and supportive community and the leaders are exceptional.

Interesting commonalities w/Western patterns: intergenerational fading, time squeeze, changing family structure, and negative associations w/ religion. Yet non-affiliates still mix and match traditional elements.

Happy to share my research on religious parenting and choice in this keynote panel at the annual Episcopal Parish Network meeting.
