A British one-day conference reveals that today’s coming-of-age millennials, whom the world has assumed would follow its way of thinking, appear to have other ideas...

LONDON — A text from a friend had reminded me.

Her message incorporated a link to register for a one-day conference at perhaps London’s most prestigious conference venues: its star attraction being Bishop Robert Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, and known throughout the Catholic world for his multimedia apostolate Word on Fire.

To be honest, I had forgotten that the bishop was coming. There had been much anticipation of the event when it was previously scheduled.

In fact, the event had already been postponed once before, in September 2021, because of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.

Now, at last, it seemed, Bishop Barron was coming to London. Finally, the Word on Fire media bandwagon would arrive in the British capital. And its main event was to take place on Feb. 11.
