- Summary:
- "Often, intergenerational initiatives are seen as the next new church trend, or another programming tool for church growth and revitalization. Ultimately, though, intergenerational is at the core of what it means for us to be the body of Christ. God intends for all ages to participate in faith formation together; we are formed in our practice of being intergenerational, as we participate in the formation of becoming God's people. All Ages Becoming brings theologians, practitioners, and ministry leaders, representing diverse denominations, generations, cultures, and geographical locations togethers to help us explore this adventure of intergenerational Christian practice through the following: Section 1: Biblical and theological foundations for reimagining intergenerational practice. Section 2: Reimagination of intergenerational discipleship, family ministry, preaching, and worship. Section 3: Formational practices for leaders and participants of intergenerational communities. Section 4: Stories of intergenerational practice using reinvention, creation of subcultures, planning worship, and honoring cultural gifts. Section 5: Survey of recent intergenerational research and insights to consider for future reimagination of and experimentation with intergenerational practice"-- Provided by publisher.
