coming soon: a return to church?

News flash: "The generation dubbed the "millennials" (those born since 1982)" are "more likely to be joining a faith community, especially one in an orthodox tradition." And in this case, "orthodox," doesn't mean conservative theology.

So say Neil Howe and William Strauss, authors of the book Millennials Rising, and the duo best-known in "Millenial" research. Generation studies are always generalities, but this article (by the excellent religion writer for the Honolulu Advertizer) offers some tantalizing food for thought for congregational leaders planning for the future. See 'Millennials' Search for Solutions in Religions .
