Purpose

As followers of Christ we recognize the potential for transformation when Lifelong Christian Formation and Vocational Discernment are intentional practices in a faith community. Ever faithful to our call to leadership as members of the Body of Christ, the Episcopal Generations Project strives to: 

  • Help the church engage a healthier pattern of inclusion and integration rather than segregation along lines of chronological age. 
  • Avoid indulgence in maintaining rigid generation gaps that can result in disenfranchising rising generations and prevent older generations from sharing their gifts as mentors and leaders.
  • Bridge the gap to help congregations recognize the opportunities for transformation in transitioning to multigenerational, integrated, creative leadership in non-threatening ways.
