ABOUT THE RETREAT What happens to faith when “religion” becomes a bad word? When there are more unaffiliated Americans than there are Roman Catholics, mainline Protestants, or evangelical Protestants? Everything changes, that’s what happens. Join Diana Butler Bass, author of Christianity After Religion, for a weekend of thinking about the world outside of church, looking at trends and topics that are influencing our own spiritual lives and our communities of faith.
FRIDAY, JUNE 6
6:00 p.m. – Dinner 6:40 p.m. – Opening Music & Activity 7:00 p.m. – Session One with Diana Butler Bass The “Nones” and the Nuns Getting On and Off the Faith Bus In this lecture, Diana unpacks movements and trends in American religion, with an eye toward how these trends play themselves out in our lives, churches, and society.
