Today, that sustaining mission has never been more challenged. Will young people have a faith to guide them? How can faith traditions anchor religious attachments in this secular, skeptical culture?The fruit of a historic gathering of scholars and religious leaders across three faiths and many disciplines, this important book reports on the religious lives of young people in today?s world. It?s also a unique inventory of creative and thoughtful responses from churches, synagogues, and mosques working to keep religion a significant force in those lives. The essays are grouped thematically. Opening the book, Melchor Sanchez de Toca and Nancy Ammerman explore fundamental issues that have an impact on religion?from the cultural effects of global consumerism and personal technology to pluralism and individualism. In Part Two, leading investigators present three leading studies of religiosity among young people and college students in the United States, illuminating the gap between personal values and organized religion?and the emergence of new, different forms of spirituality and faith. How religious institutions deal with these challenges forms the heart of the book?in portraits of ?best practices? developed to revitalize traditional institutions, from a synagogue in New York City and a Muslim youth camp in California to the famed French Catholic community of the late Brother John of Taizé. Finally, Jack Miles and Diane Winston weave the findings into a broader perspective of the future of religious belief, practice, and feeling in a changing world.Filled with real-world wisdom, Passing the Faith will be an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand what religions must, and can, do to inspire a vigorous faith in the next generation. 410 0$aAbrahamic dialogues series ;$vno. 5. 606 $aMonotheism 606 $aJudaism 606 $aChristianity 606 $aIslam 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMonotheism. 615 0$aJudaism. 615 0$aChristianity. 615 0$aIslam. 676 $a207.5 701 $aHeft$b James$0914612 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451622903321 996 $aPassing on the faith$92484997 997 $aUNINA
