I found that very interesting and insightful.
And I think I agree with him.
The "generation barriers", so to speak, are very visible in some churches and it fosters a very subtle hostility especially among teenagers and young adults.

I think it is intresting too, I'm not sure whether I agree with everything the article says, but it does have some profound points.
Why do we have seperate services for an agegroup that is intelectually mature, seperate from older adults? It doesn't make sense. Depending on how spirualy mature you are and how fast you have matured mentally, you could without a problem go to the normal services and ministries at the end of your teens. I certainly don't have anything againts idealists with a vision for the church, but you shouldn't just have your own ministry or service within the same church, without interacting with the rest of the adult churchmembers.

What did you find challenging? The writer directly attacks an accepted part of "evangelical Christianity": 20's-something-ministries. It's challenging because it makes the reader consider what the possible long-term effects of these types of ministries are. |
