Millennials, the generation of Americans born between 1982 and 2001, are emerging into adulthood, and one thing is clear: this is a generation that believes they are going to change the world. As Neil Howe and William Strauss put it in Millennials Rising (Knopf Doubleday, 2000), "Today's kids are on track to become a powerhouse generation, full of technology planners, institution builders, and world leaders, perhaps destined to dominate the twenty-first century like today's fading and ennobled G.I. Generation dominated the twentieth."

Where does Evangelical activism fit within this new "powerhouse generation"? Evangelical activism fueled movements from the abolition of slavery to the "culture wars" of the 1980s. As the millennial generation gains influence, how will these efforts change? Will they succeed? Should they even try?

At this event, James Hunter, author of To Change the World: the Irony, Tragedy, and Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World (Oxford University Press, 2010), will discuss these and other questions with two leaders of the millennial generation. Mr. Hunter will describe what factors allowed broad social change to occur throughout human history and the lessons for Christians today.

There is no cost to attend this event.
