Spirituality in Our 70s as members of the Class of 1969

ByMike Baum

Class Program

Our 50th Reunion Survey asked some probing questions about our collective approaches to spirituality. The 55th Reunion Survey sought to determine whether and how our beliefs have continued to evolve.  This presentation examined the spiritual state of our class, raised some questions about why it is and what it is, and presented some individual views and questions to ponder as we age.

Yale’s new University Chaplain responded to the presentation and compare our class to Yale today. Speaker: Michael Baum; Contributors: Michael Folz, Matthew Flynn; Respondent: Maytal Saltiel, University Chaplain.
