Intergenerational conflict continued .....

Shortly after I posted my last blog on intergeneration conflict in the workplace, I came across another article written by respected author and teacher D.A. Carson dealing with Generational Conflict in Ministry.  Well worth the read, but in in summary:

1. Listen to criticism in a non-defensive way
2. Be prepared to ask the question, “What are we doing in our church, especially in our public meetings, that is not mandated by Scripture and that may, however unwittingly, be functioning as a barrier to getting the gospel out?
3. Always focus most attention on the most important thing
4. Work hard at developing and fostering good relations with those from the other generations

Again - not easy, but necessary if we want to live "Corem Deo"
