According to a study curated by Pew Research in 2017, about 30% of Americans are now identifying as spiritual but not religious. That’s right! You heard that correctly. This growing population – also known as SBNR, for short – has created its own category on every platform, from census reports to dating apps. Additionally, those who identify as SBNR, atheist, agnostic, or have no affiliation, capture a wide range of social locations from Democrat to Republican, from Generation Z to Baby Boomers, and a variety of educational and economic backgrounds. Join Rev. Mia McClain, Rev. Ben Boswell, and special guests as they explore what the evolution of spirituality means for communities of faith in the 21st century. Guest speaker in episode 4 is MPBC member Andrew Carmilani.
