Book Description
The current generation of youth, Generation Y (born 1981-95), are growing up in a world vastly different from that of their Baby-Boomer parents, featuring the cultural pluralism of late modernity, increased anxiety about personal and environmental risk, precarious employment, rampant consumerism, the information deluge, greater individualisation and increased instability in families. Much has been written about the decline of the mainstream church and the place of organised religion in these rapidly changing times. Despite the prominence in the mass media of alternative spiritualities, reincarnation, horoscopes and Buddhism, this book argues that for the most part, young people are not active spiritual seekers, but instead have a highly individualistic and relativistic approach to life and spirituality, and are hardly familiar with religious traditions. Only a small percentage of Generation Y is actively religious. The religion of those young people who do belong to a denomination, is for the most part 'low temperature'.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Young people are doing faith differently. They are redefining community, ministry and ritual for a new era. In the face of planetary crisis, the next generation no longer see faith as a private matter, instead they are integrating it with activism and the need for systemic change. Influenced by the wealth of different teachings and traditions available around them, their identities are increasingly multifaceted and emphatically global. This collection of stories and interviews with young adults and their allies explores this new landscape, reflecting both the energy and inspiration of the next generation and the tremendous challenges they face. It points towards an exciting evolution in the way we are relating to the sacred. With stories from: Adam Bucko, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, Kara Moses, Abbas Zahedi, Camille Barton, Bruna Kadletz, Dekila Chungyalpa, Matt Youde, Amrita Bhohi, Sun Kaur, and many others.

The Spirit of Generation Y
Author: Michael Christopher Mason
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Australia
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
"The Spirit of Generation Y extends current understanding of young people's inner lives in a rapidly changing world. Targeting a group more often associated with cyberspace than the church pew, it offers an important and innovative reading of the impact of dramatic socio-cultural changes on young people's spiritual lives in late modernity. Drawing on data from a national survey and over one hundred in-depth interviews, The Spirit of Generation Y explores the worldviews and values of those born after 1980, now in their teens and early twenties. The authors show that spirituality is strongly associated with many other aspects of young people's lives: their sense of meaning, their search for happiness, and particularly their social concern and civic engagement. The study's findings and conclusions are compared with other relevant research and theory, and implications are suggested for understanding and communicating with Generation Y, and for pastoral care and youth ministry, especially in schools."--Publisher.

Reasons for Living
Author: Marisa L. Crawford
Publisher: Aust Council for Ed Research
ISBN: 0864316135
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
Reasons for Living begins by exploring the development and psychological function of meaning, identity and spirituality in the lives of young people. This exploration can contribute significantly to the professional background of those engaged in the education and care of youth in various contexts. The book then focuses on what it means to educate young people in meaning, identity and spirituality. Implications are considered for three school contexts: the spiritual and moral dimension to the general curriculum in public and independent schools; religious education in religious schools; and state-based Religion Studies courses. Reasons for Living makes a much needed contribution to the philosophy of education by discussing the links between education and young people's spiritual and moral development. It also provides new insights and approaches to values education and religious education. Areas of fundamental importance in Australian education have long been held back not only by the gap between theory and practice, but also by the very complexities of young people's personal development in contemporary Western Culture. Reasons for Living offers a constructive and practical way forward.
