I just stumbled across  this synopsis of,  ” Thirteen Trends and Forces Affecting the Future of Faith Formation in a Changing Church and World“. This piece was written as part of a broader study on the future of faith formation by Lifelong Faith Associates. It doesn’t have anything in it that is brand new, but it’s a remarkably good synopsis of the current landscape. I think it could serve as a helpful focal point or conversation starter for a staff or board planning retreat.
