PEW! FACING A WORLD WithOUT GOD: Spirituality, Morals, & Ethics for a Generation Rejecting Religion
Session Description:
In the 2022 Pew Research Report, Millennials and Generation Z are leaving traditional faith institutions at a pace never seen before. However, they continue to identify as having a strong spiritual core. What does an ethical foundation to address the problems of our world today look like for those yearning to answer a spiritual call without traditional religion to rely on? The challenge falls to interfaith/interspiritual institutions to provide authentic avenues of self-development, self-expression, and service that point to the tenets of the Parliament’s Global Ethic. This innovative, compassionate approach embraces perennial wisdom rooted in the values, morals, and ethics of global faith traditions, indigenous, pagan, and universal spiritual principles, as well as psychology, and science. We address the anxiety and trauma of today’s world, the pitfalls of narcissism and addiction, allowing each seeker to dive into their healing journey supported by a holistic framework of conscious community.
