Beskrivning

There is a growing realisation across mainstream churches that age-segregated models of connecting with children, young people and families are not working. Drawing on their extensive experience, Suzi Farrant and Darren Philip set out a vision for bringing the generations back together to become the intergenerational church we are designed to be. In conversation with the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, they develop a theological rationale for intentional intergenerational relationships of mutuality lived out within the core activities of the church. Through an exploration of the Christian practices of humility, hospitality, participation, discipleship, joy, worship, discernment and testimony, they call the church to re-discover its DNA as an all-age community of transformation.

Recensioner i media

There has been much discussion about the need for intergenerational forms of ministry and ecclesiology. But amongst all the discussion there have been few books that have given this task the practical and theological depth it deserves. Until now. Being an Intergenerational Church provides pastors, parents, children’s ministers, and youth workers with rich discussions and many practical handles on what it means, and even looks like, to be intergenerational. This book is timely and needed.
