This revised study guide helps the reader of "Where have all the
Young People Gone" dig more deeply and, if desired, share in an
eight session discussion group. It also provides for a disciplined
and documented planning process for persons preparing to welcome
young people into their congregation. The first three sessions deal
with the changes in family and community after World War 2 that
opened the door to rapid social change. The chaos and college riots
of the 1960s and 70s are evidence that the World War 2 generation
and their "Boomer" children were diverging in world-view,
lifestyle, and values. Then on to Generations X and Y who are still
more different and tend to be deeply alienated from traditional
Christianity. The next three sections focus on one-on-one response
to alienation within family, community, and congregation: getting
back in touch with the Gospel and how our faith has been shaped,
learing to tell our story of our personal walk with our Lord, and
learning to share that story with an alienated person. The last
three sections presents an over-view of what may be required for
effective outreach to new people in general and to the younger
generations in specific. For readers who have been asked to draw up
a plan for outreach for their congregation, various instruments are
provided to turn their reading into a data-driven assessment of the
strengths and weakness of their congregation for change and growth.
This includes understanding how their ways of "doing church" may be
seen as cultural barriers by Generation X and Y. Change is
difficult for many people to take and should not be done without
careful thought, planning, buy-in by the people, and prayer. We're
called to live the Gospel toward the alienated person and to "take
up our cross" by accepting changes in packaging that we have come
to love but which are barriers to the alienated who come from a
different culture. This is always the task of the missionary. Old
dogs can learn new tricks when it's all for the glory of God.
