Two Questions: Chris Barnett
Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Chris BarnettExecutive General Manager, Intergen, Australia and Assembly Resource Unit, Uniting Church Australia In each edition of IG Mix, we ask someone the same two questions about intergenerational ministry: “What keeps you up at night?” and “What gets you up in the morning?” What keeps you up at night? While the case for a more intergenerational approach to ministry and mission continues to be bolstered by a growing field of research and “real life” stories of positive change, overall momentum toward greater intergenerationality across churches seems to be slowing down.

I am currently working on a revised, updated edition of Intergenerational Christian Formation with co-authors Christine Lawton and Cory Seibel. So I am daily writing, deleting, re-writing, shuffling—creating new sentences and paragraphs for this book. And at night, I think about those words. Is there a better way to help people...

You Got to Move
Posted by Liz Perraud at
Liz PerraudExecutive DirectorGenOn Ministries I heard an old spiritual on the radio the other day… You got to move, you got to move You got to move, child, you got to move But when the Lord get ready You got to move You may be high, you may be low You may be rich, child, you may be poor But when the Lord get ready You got to move It reminded me of key advice I received from a doctor about how best to recover from a major medical situation—maintain an active lifestyle. You got to move. The church is...
