Kindled in the Wild

The Rhythms of Faith Project and some of our findings were featured in an article in Christian Century magazine, authored by our Advisory Team member, Bishop Meggan Manlove. Please give it a read, and then be sure to share it with your network!

“Camps are great at fostering organic conversations that go below the surface. Whether on a hiking trail, paddling a canoe, stirring embers of a campfire, or lying in bunk beds when the lights have gone off, the settings and relationships lend themselves to asking and discussing the big questions. Research shows that parents and other primary caregivers take the lead role in faith formation, but there are other key players as well. Both camps and churches can help train youth and young adults to speak the language of Christian faith, language that can then be spoken among family members. Faith formation happens throughout an entire ecosystem.”
