Re: Let's Talk about This. Seriously!
For a lot of elders, they don't have the answers to the questions that we ask. And that is worrisome when you have been doing this your whole life. AND to this older generation, asking questions was sometimes seen as rebellious. So now you have this younger generation asking questions... and the conclusion is made that it is just rebellion.
But wait a minute!! Hey! Baby boomer generation that is retiring now, and stepping back. My generation has inherited global warming, a horrible deficit, and now a pension that is flat broke.... and you want us to trust you??
To just assume that what you say goes? That if we go along with the status quo, we will be all right?
Oh, but that doesn't happen among the church. Uh huh, yea right! What about..... and I could go on, and on with examples of major concern that were mishandled.
Point being, my generation.... 25 to 45 is inheriting some serious problems, both among the church and world. So we have every right to question... and even more so as we see the problems that certain stances or approvals have started. Problems that we now inherit.
We are walking new paths, blazing new trails... I'm sorry, I just can't walk in your Apostolic Footprints, I have to go make my own! But believe me, Mr. and Mrs. Older Generation, I do want you involved and I need your help, even if you don't have all the answers. Just get involved in our lives.... because sitting at the "reserved tables" doesn't work for me.
