That first article is a powerful one. A must read for any leader.

Good factoid article. I'll pass it along to our youth pastors.
Is it just me, or does it bother anyone else that people STILL think that Generation X refers to the next wave of young adults. For Pete's sake, we're starting to turn 40! sheesh...

I had been sitting on this article trying not to continue my antagonistic ways regarding denominational stuff. The fact that CMS linked to Keith Drury's article pushed me over the edge.
I couldn't resist sharing its spot-on analysis. Great find and great insight as usual, Kevin.
I used that article and fired up a trackback to you guys here:
