Religious, Secular, and Spiritual Identities Convergence: Introduction to the Special Issue

Abstract

The purpose of this special issue is to share the best research, theory, practice, and perspectives from presenters at the 2017 Religious, Secular, and Spiritual Identities Convergence conference, alongside the new writing of scholars and practitioners who were inspired by the themes of the conference. Readers will have access both to the best of what they might have missed from this unique conference experience and to ongoing work in the area of college students’ religious, secular, and spiritual identities. In this special issue of Journal of College & Character, we offer a curated collection of articles in the categories of research and theory, opinions and perspectives, and best practices.
