About
Many churches today face worry and concern over their collective future. One tragic consequence is that growing anxiety can turn inward on communities of faith. A subtle distancing and dividing can occur, often happening along generational lines. Us-versus-Them thinking morphs into Old-versus-Young. Instead of a culture of generation to generation, churches are shaped and formed more by a culture of generation versus generation.
Imagining All Generations offers a better, more faithful way forward. This volume features nineteen authors from around the world, providing fresh theological reflection, innovative practical wisdom, and a unified call for all churches to move into a more intergenerational future by answering four key questions:
• What theology and theory support an intergenerational vision of the church?
• What are researchers and practitioners learning about how to meaningfully bring together different generations in communities of faith?
• How can churches better share faith among various age groups within their congregation?
• How might we reimagine the worship assembly as a time and place where every generation brings a valuable contribution?
