I've been working on a project for my congregation that involves thinking about the church's ministry not twenty years from now, but 1...2...3...4...and 5 years down the road. As a part of this, I have been taking a closer look at generational cohorts within our congregation. I've found these videos on Gen. Y useful in shaping my understanding of the generation just after mine.
I also learned that even though I am a Gen. X member, I am much closer to the cusp of Gen. Y than I thought (according to at least one table of who fits where). As much as I tend to question some of the behaviors among folks in this generation, I do relate to most of the workplace trends in the third video.
Have you read "Generations of Faith"? I just got it, and was so fascinated I read it in one week! (which is very fast for me with a professional development book).
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it yet. Thanks for the recommendation!
