William Paul Young, best known as the author of “The Shack,” will discuss the
difference between being spiritual and being religious in a filmed interview at Lifetree
Café on Sunday, February 19 at 7 p.m.
Nearly 30 percent of Americans identify themselves as spiritual but not religious, and
the trend is growing. Young’s best-seller has prompted a national discussion of the
difference between spirituality and religion.
“I make a distinction between the church as an organization and the church as people,”
says Young. “Biblically speaking, the church is people. It’s only people. They didn’t have
the buildings, the structures, or platforms. It’s simply people.”
The Lifetree event, titled “Spiritual but Not Religious,” offers participants the opportunity
to explore the issue in a safe, open environment.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located on the corner of Union
and 13 th St., Arcata.
