Hoge of the Department of Sociology at the Catholic University of America as a means of studying issues involving emerging adults in the United States so as to provide religious leaders with information on how to better minister to this age group. The archive includes 15 essays written by scholars on emerging adult issues, four commentaries on these essays, and nine case studies of churches that have successfully maintained their emerging adult membership. 375 English Historical Note Begun in 2008, Changing Spirituality of Emerging Adults (SEA) was the final project initiated by Catholic University of America sociologist Dr. Dean R. Hoge (1937-2008). Changing SEA was conceived as a project to study the "spiritual hunger" of young adult Americans, with the purpose of providing information to religious leaders on how to better minister to the needs of this age group. As originally conceived by Hoge prior to his death, the project was to have been presented in three parts. Part one consisted of a series of 15 essays written scholars from various institutions across the United States on different aspects in the lives of emerging adults. Among the topics explored were finances and occupations, family and friendships, politics, sexuality, race, and spirituality. The second part of the project involved case studies at religious institutions, wherein researchers examined the success of selected churches that have attracted and maintained emerging adults as members. Both Catholic and Protestant churches were selected for these studies, which were conducted over a period of nine months to one year. The final part was a survey that was conducted in 2013 adults ages 20 to 29 who could partake in an English-language survey. The purpose of the survey was to gather information regarding social influences that have molded the attitudes and practices of this age group. These survey results, coupled with the essays and ethnographic studies, will form the basis of a forthcoming book for the use of young adult ministers in Catholic and Protestant churches. Dr. James Youniss, professor of psychology at CUA, was responsible for compiling the information on CSEA to present for financial assistance for the survey from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., a private philanthropic foundation. The Rev. Dr. Anthony J. Pogorelc, a sociologist and Fellow of the Institute for POlicy Research and Catholic Studies was asked to oversee the project. Part one of the project was directed by Dr. Tim Clydesdale of the College of New Jersey, while part two was managed by Dr. Kathleen Garces-Foley of Marymount University. The final section has been a collaborative effort of the researchers. Scope and Contents The collection is divided into three series. The original essays on emerging adult issues are included, along with commentaries on the essays, and the ethnographic studies on "model" churches. The first series consists of 15 essays written by scholars at various institutions across the United States on issues facing emerging adults, including politics, mental health, race, sexuality, marriage and family, finances, spirituality, media, and college. While there are single essays on race, mental health, college, and the media, the other issues have multiple essays. The second series consists of four commentaries written by a church minister, youth organization leader, university professor, and the editor of a Christian faith journal. Each commentary addresses the issues discussed in the essays in series one from the perspective of the author. The final series contains nine ethnographic studies conducted by researchers from various institutions across the United States. Each study explores a church or religious organization that has managed to successfully retain and even add to its emerging adult membership and offers each institution as a model for other ministers seeking to reach out to emerging adults in the 21st century.
