Fostering Genuine Dialogue Between Christian Life Community Members and Spiritual But Not Religious Students at Loyola Marymount University

Fostering Genuine Dialogue Between Christian Life Community Members and Spiritual But Not Religious Students at Loyola Marymount University

In recent years, there has been an increase in young adults who identify as “Spiritual But Not Religious” (SBNRs). These people may have unmet spiritual longings, but do not have a place to safely explore and discuss their spirituality. I will create two experimental groups within Loyola Marymount University’s Christian Life Community program that will allow genuine dialogue to occur between religious students and SBNR students. These experimental groups, if successful will allow both groups to establish community and learn from each other.
