“Because I think the truth is:
Generation to Generation
The gift and the challenge
in religious community
is finding opportunities
and balancing both:
time with our age
and stage peers
and building relationships
across generations.
Our faith calls us
to build beloved community
and that includes toddlers
elders, and everyone in between.
It requires us to build
spiritual muscles.
Cross-generational relationships
need sunlight and water.
Patience when “other people’s” music is sung,
when worship is not as we want,
because sameness
but difference
is where growth happens.
Our task
is nothing less.
Relationships
create benefits
to our wellbeing.
Relationships disrupt prejudice,
give opportunities,
through a different lens.
We are a community
of many generations.
We are multi-generational,
millennial,
Gen-X,
baby boomer,
in community.
