Intergenerational Christian Formation: Bringing the Whole Church Together in Ministry, Community, and Worship

Description

This book encourages an intergenerational approach to ministry and explores that idea through scripture, theology, theories, and stories. Although organized as a textbook appropriate for the classroom, Intergenerational Christian Formation also provides insight for clergy, lay leaders, and congregants through experiences included from various geographical areas. Supported by up-to-date research and scriptural references, this second edition offers specific suggestions for how to integrate all generations in ministry, message, learning, and community.
