well now...

some more on their way?

Agreed x1000.
This is much worse.

Hey! Thanks for this.
nice to reconnect :)

It's very hard to say, because so far as I can tell that particular research hasn't been done.

More importantly, though, this lacks the context of an upsurge in engagement with a variety of other community groups. Post covid, and in an era of growing military and economic 'threat', young people are engaging more with groups that offer a sense of belonging and purpose.

I agree that this is an issue - although class is such a tricky concept to navigate in this sense. Certainly large charismatic evangelical churches report strong engagement with Gen Z (they always do). Ethnicity is a factor: African heritage people are strongly represented in church going figures.

It's a really interesting and important report, and put together by very smart, highly questioning people.
What it lacks, perhaps, is some context. Churches are not the only community organisations that are seeing a big upsurge in Gen Z engagement. Alienation seems likely to be a key driver here.

A decent review of a thoroughly readable and very well developed book. One of a few really good popular/accessible scholarly titles last year, see also: God's Ghostwriters by @candidamoss.bsky.social

I've not heard that joke since I was 18-years-old

I didn't even know it was for sale. How much is it, exactly?

I think there's a couple of other possibilities: Greenland as a strategic military bulwark could lessen the need to have US troops on 'foreign'/EU soil; perhaps even more obvious though are the mineral deposits, inc. rare earth minerals - which are abundant there, and which are vital for new tech.

Thanks for this, Ryan. Your work is always interesting and trustworthy, which is no mean feat these days. Where might we find a more detailed version of your findings?
