Who are the ‘Nones’?
Nancy T. Ammerman, Professor of Sociology of Religion, Boston University
Roughly one-third of younger adults now say they have no religious affiliation. Who are they, why aren’t they in Church—and what do they mean when they protest that they are ’spiritual’? This presentation considers the demographic, political, and cultural trends that have expended the ranks of the unaffiliated – and asks what local communities of faith can do to respond.

Thy Will Be Done
Thomas D. Stegman, SJ
While Luke’s Gospel is known as the ‘Gospel of Prayer,’ prayer also plays an important role in Mark’s Gospel. Not only does Mark present Jesus as the model of someone who prays, he also emphasizes the significance of prayer among the new family who gathered around Jesus, committed to doing God’s will.
