New Stories, New Communities: Opening with Richard Flory<\/strong><\/p>\n

The introduction set the stage and provide context for the day’s discussions of how groups are “reimagining” religion today. Richard Flory presented data on religion trends along with the findings of the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture’s study of religious creativity in Los Angeles. He introduced the “Reimagined Communities” framework, showcasing common characteristics that span creative groups and activities within all faiths and no faith at all. CRCC’s presentation featured video examples and explored some of the communications challenges of these groups.<\/p>\n
