Last year, In Trust published a report by Barbara Wheeler titled “Sobering Figures Point to Overall Enrollment Decline.” That article’s influence continues to grow. Most recently, it was cited in “Seminaries Continue to Attract Older Students,” an article that award-winning journalist Yonat Shimron wrote for the website Insights into Religion.

Insights into Religion includes both original content and links to organizations that publish research on American religious life. Other recent highlights from the site:

• Ten Essential Skills the Next Generation of Religious Leaders Will Need
• Denominational Decline Related to Birthrates, Societal Changes
• How to Get Good Sociological Data on Religion from the Internet

Seminary leaders would do well to check out Insights into Religion, a free resource funded by Lilly Endowment Inc.
