Spiritually Among Americans--A Pew Research Center Report
"7 in 10 U.S. adults describe themselves as spiritual in some way, including 22% who are spiritual but not religious."
As it often does, the Pew Research Center has provided us with an exhaustive research report. This one is on spirituality among Americans. I have provided you with a link to the report. I have also shared five stories from four news sources for those who want a short overview rather than studying the full report.
My Conviction: I believe it is of the highest importance that Christians understand the spiritual framework of the wide diversity of people in our country—and the world—as we pray for them and engage them in conversations about spirituality from the Christian perspective. This is basic respect as we share our heart for the unconditional love of God through Jesus Christ.
What are your doing to prepare yourself for prayerful, faithful, and loving conversations with people concerning Christ-centered spirituality?
