Generational IQ: Christianity Isn't Dying, Millennials Aren't the Problem, and the Future Is Bright

Description

This book looks at generational realities through a faith lens. Author Haydn Shaw explains how the life and world experiences of each different generation have impacted that generation's attitudes, assumptions, beliefs, and communication style. With younger generations viewing faith, congregational life, and life in general differently than older generations, faith communities need to realize that what works for one generation might not work for another. Shaw recommends exploring the ways congregations can bring younger and older generations together using universal responses, acknowledges that changes may need to be made for younger generations to engage in congregational life, and suggests ways to help each generation remain connected to the congregation.
