Virtually all churches aim to invest meaningfully in the faith
development of the younger generations who have been entrusted into
their care. Some churches have a longstanding track record of
faithfulness in living out this commitment.
Some lose sight of this priority over time and allow their
intentionality to fade.
This book makes a distinctive contribution to our understanding of
children’s, youth, and young adult ministries by appropriating Erik
Erikson’s concept of generativity (“the interest in establishing
and guiding the next generation”) as a way of exploring
congregational life. Eleven accomplished authors representing five
different countries provide diverse theological and cultural
perspectives on key aspects of what it means for churches to invest
intentionally in the faith development of the members of emerging
generations.
Their chapters challenge us to think about the intergenerational
dynamics of our churches, the crucial partnership between church
and parents, and what it means to involve young people meaningfully
in the life of the church.
The intriguing topics explored by this group of authors and the
diverse contexts from which they write promise to broaden and
enrich our thinking about caring for children, youth, and young
adults as a vital responsibility shared by the entire congregation.
