Baby-boomers to Generation Z?

How do we bridge generational divides to make Jesus known together?

The recent London City Mission ‘Diaspora Conference’ was an opportunity to bring Christians together from Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and elsewhere, to explore this vital question. With no easy answers to the complex tensions that often exist between generations in our church communities, we focused on listening and learning from each other’s experiences.

Felix Aremo (LCM Missiologist) pointed us to the glory of God, motivating us to work together across cultural and generational divides. He encouraged us to go beyond co-existing, to collaborate together to reach the millions of Londoners who don’t yet know Jesus. The Revd Wien Fung then set out pathways to overcome barriers, reminding us that every congregation has the potential to be authentically intergenerational, but we need more than just new methods – rather, a fresh mindset.
