The eighth session of the 2024 Martin Institute Christian Formation Workshop featured a presentation by Dr. Lisa McMinn (sociology, George Fox University) and comments by Dr. D. Paul Sullins (sociology, Catholic University of America). The session was moderated by Dr. Alister Chapman (history, Westmont College). Dr. McMinn’s paper was titled “Reflections on Christian Immaturity and Western 21st Century Culture: A Sociological Perspective.” This session continues our attempt to explain the problem of Christian immaturity/malformation and consider actionable steps toward fostering greater spiritual and moral vitality among Christian individuals and groups.
