Lombard Mennonite Peace Center is launching a free quarterly clergy roundtable program.
The first program theme is:
Generational Differences in the Balance of Togetherness and Individuality - Implications for the Church
Particular focus will be given to the emotional labor Gen Z experiences around performative roles (like showing up at church or a holiday dinner) when they perceive forces of togetherness differently than others.
How do we create churches that welcome the authentic presence of youth instead of masking while participating?

They recommend reading the book, Hear Us Out: Six Questions on Belonging and Belief by Sue Pizor Yoder (Author), with contributors Bonnie Bates, Brandon Heavner, Joanne Marchetto, Jill Peters, Stephen Simmons, Janet Stahl, and James Stahl in preparation for this round table discussion.
