Grab a bag of popcorn: it’s movie night on our campus, Sunday, September 24, 7 o’clock. We’ll be screening Becoming Truly Human , a fascinating documentary that explores the rise of the “Nones,” i.e., those who check “none of the above” on religion surveys. [img_assist|nid=24096|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=300|height=450]Multiple research groups report that the number of Nones had risen from roughly 6% of the U.S. population in the 1990s to 25% as of 2015. However, little research existed on this growing demographic—until now.

Our annual Missions Weekend will feature two fascinating speakers this year, especially in light of world events—one from South Korea , and one from Albania .
