The Faith of Generation Y by Sylvia Collins-Mayo
The members of Generation Y (those born after 1980) in Britain have had less contact with the Church than any previous generation in living memory. So what interest do young people have in Christianity? Does belief in God make any difference to them? Using both sociological and theological approaches, the authors shed light on these questions by drawing on the views of over 300 young people who have participated in Christian youth and community outreach projects around England over the last five years. A response from the Bishop of Coventry is also included, considering the implications of the research for the wider Church. Building on the hugely influential, ground-breaking research in Making Sense of Generation Y, this is a must for all those working with young people in the church or wanting to develop their mission to young people.
'The book gives useful insights for those working with un-churched youth, and is a call to the Church to be authentic and distinctive' -- Sue Simpson
'This book ... gives a fascinating insight into the beliefs and practices of this emerging generation, as well as a more theological reflection in the light of this research ... The fact that this is based on research in the real world, with real young people, makes this essential reading for anyone interesting in understanding how they approach matters of faith ... There is too much excellent material to highlight anything in particular ... I thoroughly recommend this book.' -- Steve Dutfield * Christian Marketplace *
