This Book is a custom forecast created by Institute for the Future for the Diocese of Texas, looking ahead to the year 2035. Its purpose is to help church leaders anticipate and prepare for major external forces that will affect their communities over the next decade. The report’s cover design pays homage to Søren Kierkegaard’s seminal work, Provocations: Spiritual Writings.
Like Kierkegaard’s provocative philosophy that challenged institutional Christianity, this report presents future scenarios to challenge assumptions and inspire the Episcopal Diocese of Texas to discern its role amid an era rapid change.
