Important faith research to be presented in Belfast
A significant piece of research into faith among young adults and young people in Ireland will be presented on 9 February 2018 in Belfast Bible College.
Finding Faith in Ireland, commissioned by Christ In Youth and carried out by Barna Group, is one of the most detailed research projects to examine Irish teenagers and young adults, with a specific emphasis on their faith, worries and perceptions of Christianity.
This research has been presented extensively around the Republic of Ireland and, after many requests from leaders, is being presented for the first time in Northern Ireland.
Jasper Rutherford, Christ in Youth’s Director of Europe, said: “We believe that Finding Faith in Ireland is a great tool and gift to the Church to help us better understand the mindsets of Irish teens and young adults today. In these findings and the accompanying report, parents, ministers and youth workers will find information and motivation to help the younger generations cultivate a faith that not only survives these formative years but endures into adulthood.”
He continued: “Research really takes off when practitioners gather together and respond to the findings. At this gathering we would love for you to be a part of the discussions and the conversations.”
The event is aimed at church leaders and those with a particular concern for young people and young adults and takes place from 11–1.00 pm on Friday 9 February.
