THE CAMPBELL LECTURE will be held 3-8 p.m. April 11 at DeSales University, 2755 Station Ave., Upper Saucon Township.

How are emerging generation­s making meaning in their lives? A team of eight scholars and ministry leaders from across the denominati­onal spectrum formed Co.lab.inq, a collective learning laboratory focused on open-ended inquiry, to explore this question. Together they interviewe­d over 200 people under 40 in search of the lessons they might teach us about belonging, adversity, legacy – and faith.

Through collaborat­ive storytelli­ng conversati­ons focused on truth-seeking and meaning-making, Sue Pizor Yoder and her co-authors identify the complex and varied ways Millennial­s and Gen Z are navigating life and crafting their stories. What do younger Americans have to say about belonging? Where do they find meaning? What challenges are they facing and how do they confront them? How do they envision their legacies?

Pizor Yoder and her colleagues were surprised to find that in addition to these questions, their conversati­on partners also wanted to talk about faith even when they didn’t identify with any religious tradition. Come and uncover both the critique and blessing the team experience­d for society and the church.

Copies of their book, “Hear Us Out: 6 Questions on Belonging and Belief,” are available for preorder at www.amazon. com/Hear-Us-Out-Questions-Belonging/ dp/1506489192.
