By looking closely at significant historical events, sociological data, and anecdotes, the authors help us understand how we have come to the present generational diversity that is affecting our congregations today." - Rev. Robert J. Silva, president, National Federation of Priests' Councils "This is the first book to address the important intersection between congregational structure and generational conflict. Jackson W. Carroll and Wade Clark Roof provide insights that should guide the strategic planning of every church, temple, and synagogue in America." - Donald E. Miller, professor of religion and executive director, the Center for Religion and Civic Culture, University of Southern California, and author, Reinventing American Protestantism: Christianity in the New Millennium "A collaborative book by two of the nation's most distinguished scholars of religion.
