Faith leaders can begin to bridge this gap by engaging in practices that ask young people, not just young BIPOC, to reflect on how their important identity or identities create meaning and purpose in their lives.

Young BIPOC do not leave their ethnic and racial identity (ERI) at the door when they walk into their places of worship—and they don’t want to. Interview data suggest that faith leaders who ignore their young people’s ERI do so at the risk of great spiritual and emotional harm.

"#GenZ is doing this expansive and curious work of constructing their #faith whether or not faith leaders are there to guide them...Just 8% say there's a religious leader they can turn to."

Gen Z is keeping the faith. Just don't expect to see them at worship. https://t.co/oidsrexyIF via @RNS

"We’re not advising any institutions to give up core tenets. Our data suggests the most important thing is relationships...the presence of even one trusted adult within an organization will help [young people] feel like they belong." @WeAreSpringtide
