Join Elan Babchuck, Wendy Cadge, Michelle Scheidt, Jen Bailey, Hannah Petersen and Amy Lawton for an engaging webinar on Mapping Spiritual Innovators and the National Field Study recently conducted by Chaplaincy Innovation Lab and Glean Network in partnership with innoFaith and Faith Matters Network

"This webinar reports on the project “Mapping Spiritual Innovation” and the project’s national field study. In this context, hashtag refers to a set of actors at the forefront of faith and social innovation. Spiritual innovators creatively bring the assets of their spiritual and cultural traditions to bear, pursuing new models of faith and hope in action, generating broad-scale social and spiritual impact. Spiritual innovators may include leaders across clergy, lay-leadership, higher education, the non-profit, social impact, and social innovation sectors, and even volunteers among grassroots organizations and local activism.

The webinar will report on the state of spiritual innovation; discuss how we determined what spiritual innovation is; and what a better understanding of spiritual innovation means for the future of spiritual care in the United States."
