John Roberto will be presenting "Envisioning the Future of Faith Formation" in a webinar presented by Paulist Evangelization Ministries (formerly the Paulist National Evangelization Association).

The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 3:00 pm ET.

John will offer practical strategies, ideas, innovations, and resources for targeting the spiritual and religious needs of those who participate only occasionally, those who say they are "spiritual" but not religious, and those who are uninterested and unaffiliated.

John Roberto is President of LifelongFaith Associates (http://www.lifelongfaith.com/), editor of the journal "Lifelong Faith", and coordinator for the Faith Formation 2020 Initiative (http://www.faithformation2020.net/).
