What a fascinating and generative discussion I had this weekend in Chicago with Drs. Bill Clark (Holy Cross), Brett Hoover (Loyola Marymount), Tia Pratt (Villanova), and Susan Reynolds (Candler/Emory) and student Gaby (Northwestern). We enjoyed a deep dive into one another’s research; so many brilliant questions to illuminate both research and applied insights! This Parish Researchers Gathering was part of the National Conversation on Shared Parish Life, generously funded by an anonymous donor. I look forward to the ways this research and our ongoing conversations will strengthen parish life and the American Catholic experience more broadly.
