"One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your
mighty acts." -Psalm 145:4 Most churches and faith communities
segment their ministries by age and generation. The kids go to
children's church, the teens go to youth group. Worship services
are geared toward different generational preferences, and small
groups gather people at the same life stage, whether singles, young
marrieds, parents, or empty nesters. In some congregations, people
may never interact with those of other ages. But it was not always
so. Throughout biblical tradition and the majority of history,
communities of faith included people of all ages together in
corporate worship, education, and ministry. The church was not just
multigenerational; it was intergenerational, with the whole church
together as one family and people of all ages learning from one
another in common life. In this comprehensive text, Holly Allen and
Christine Lawton offer a complete framework for intentional
intergenerational Christian formation. They provide the theoretical
foundations for intergenerationality, showing how learning and
spiritual formation are better accomplished through
intergenerational contexts. It is not just elders teaching youth;
learning also takes place when adults discover fresh insights from
children. Then the authors give concrete guidance for
intergenerational praxis on how worship, learning, community, and
service can all be achieved intergenerationally. Case studies of
intergenerational congregations provide models for how a culture of
intergenerationality can be created in local churches. This volume
serves as an essential guide for all preparing for and involved in
congregational ministry and formation. Discover the riches of
intergenerational ministry, and let all generations commend the
works of God to one another.
