PROJECT SUMMARY:
The Youth and Religion Project (Y&RP), funded by the Lilly Endowment, Inc., intends to understand the ways in which religious institutions can and do serve the needs of younger Americans (aged 8 to 30) in our rapidly changing society through a focus on religious institutions in metropolitan Chicago. The project is directed by R. Stephen Warner of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Rhys Williams, formerly of Southern Illinois University, now at the University of Cincinnati, is co-director. Beginning with a planning grant in 1996, the project is scheduled to conclude in August 2003.
