Description
The American church is at a crossroads concerning faith transmission across generations. To specifically address the real-life challenges churches face, the American Baptist Home Mission Societies built Space for Grace 2024 around the theme of Engaging Intergenerational Faith: Listen. Learn. Live. This book celebrates the work of the plenary speakers and workshop presenters from the 2024 Space for Grace Conference, exploring the critical issues of active intergenerational faith and making the conference learnings accessible for use in your church. Building on the dynamic presentations from the conference, various authors reflect on the following themes:
Listen. How do we communicate across age, language, and cultural differences?
Learn. What do we learn from one another when we move beyond generational stereotypes?
Live. Building on the previous two topics, how do we move from listening and learning to action?
Read and share these dynamic and powerful contributions of the Space for Grace presenters today!
