Many collegians say they are spiritual; struggle with questions, alternatives

Many collegians say they are spiritual; struggle with questions, alternatives:
The standard litany goes something like this: Presbyterians go to church, bring their children, the children grow up, go off on their own, forget about church. Charles Wiley, who’s with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Office of Theology and Worship, said recently that one test of Presbyterians’ commitment to ecumenism is that they’re ecstatic if their adult children go to church, practically any church, once they leave home.

But the stock wisdom only goes so far.
There are several good articles in Presbyterian Outlook (free registration required) this week.

Reading this article sugggests that while there is a strong "spiritual" awareness among college students, there are still many opportunities to tell the Good News.
