Young Adult Responsive Parishes:  Hope in Times of Uncertainty

Young adults trying to form meaning amid the plurality and ambiguity of contemporary culture. Church leaders have an opportunity to embrace this spiritual quest by creating young adult responsive parishes.  This presentation uses the spiritual quest of young adults as a framework to help guide them beyond relativistic ways of thinking and towards the development of a mature understanding of what it means to live out their faith and embrace social justice in a pluralistic society.

Tracey Lamont is an Assistant Professor of Religious Education at Loyola Institute for Ministry at Loyola University, New Orleans.
