In a previous blog post we highlighted one of the fruits of this project is a course we have helped put together with the Transforming Communities department of the Diocese of Lichfield.

What would church look like for Generation Y? Here's one answer from a church in Luton. For me there are a few factual inaccuracies here (e.g., the biggest year-on-year decline in church attendance was actually in the 1960s and 1970s, not 'in the last 25 years'); however, this is an interesting discussion starter for anyone thinking about worshipping community for those aged c. 15-30. Great to spend some of this morning with Mark Fisher from the Generations Project, Solihull, an ecumenical initiative to gear up local churches to work with older adults in residential care settings. Mark is asking interesting and important questions about the meaning of old age. In earlier life people ask us 'what do you want to do when you grow up?' or 'what will you do when you retire?', but much more rarely about how we are going to prepare for 'fourth age', or indeed what our faith says about the meaning of age. Read more and contribute your own ideas via the 'Why Pappy?' thread of the Generations Project website.
