In Restless Gods (2002), Reginald Bibby, a Canadian sociologist of religion, suggests that mainstream churches could be revitalized if their leaders recognized that non-attenders are seriously interested in spiritual issues and are strongly inclined to look to their own traditions for religious vocabulary, interpretation, and ritual. I would like to test this view by in-depth research into the spiritual issues and church memories of a sample population of 391 young adults. This is the group of people that I have confirmed at Maple Grove United Church in Oakville, Ontario, over 23 years as its senior minister. The great majority of them had a predominantly positive experience of church in their childhood and teen-aged years, but many or most are no longer active in Christian communities. Through focus groups with 24 of them, and a questionnaire for all of them, I intend to identify the issues of faith and spirituality they are dealing with, the resources they continue to appropriate from their church background, and the additional resources they wish they had received from us. This in-depth study of young adults from a single congregational background is, so far as I know, without precedent.
