This article should be a heads-up to our churches and our little denomination. We cannot assume the newest generation is going to "win the world" without the encouragement and mentoring of older folks. (See the last paragraph in the article). All of us over 50 should take up the challenge in this thoughtful perspective of discipleship.

I'm not sure that Millennials are LESS civic minded than previous generations, but my experience as both a pastor and employer would bear out the research that they are not more so. Is self-centerdness a generational characteristic, or a human trait?
