Abstract

This project is designed to provide a structure for ministry to young adults, in particular members of Generation X. The research consisted of reading, distributing questionnaires to both college students and to campus ministers and then compiling and analyzing the information and interfacing the information with Dominican spirituality and Dominican life.The purpose of researching the founding of the Order was to discover if there were any similarities between early thirteenth century middle Spain and late twentieth century United States culture in order to use the gifts of Dominican spirituality as an avenue to ministry with young adults. The research bore out that there are similarities in the spiritual climate of early 13th century middle Spain and that of late 20th century United States. The framework of Dominican spirituality does indeed offer the Church an avenue to address, to reach, and to feed the spiritual hungers of the generation known as Generation X thus providing nourishment for the soul.
