NF: “The Generation Gap: Are Millennials Losing their Religion?”

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

Niagara Foundation is pleased to host our October Niagara Forum titled: “The Generation Gap: Are Millennials Losing their Religion?”. Our speakers will aim to answer the following questions and beyond:

1) Do you see a generational gap in your congregation?
2) What can be done to bring back the youth or be more inclusive in your religious service?
3) Can modern technology/social media be an aid or does it hinder?
4) Is youth ministry on the rise? And/or is it more of a prominent role in the religious practice?
5) How has youth ministry changed over the years?
6) Do younger religious leaders interpret religion differently, do you see a difference in how the message is being spread?
7) Do you see a generational gap in the workplace/leadership?
8) How much-if it has at all-does it coincide with gender?
9) Are today’s modern social movements creating a negative perception of religion, and pushing millennials away?

This will then be followed by a Q and A session.

*This panel was originally scheduled for September, but the date was postponed to respect the two Jewish Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur*
