The Generation Gap in Churches



So I was looking for stories to discuss in my blog, and I came across this article in the LA Times- "Asian-American Pastors Cross Culture Gap" by K Connie Kang in the Domestic News section. Well first of all, it caught my eye because one, I'm a 2nd generation Asian-American, and two, because I am so intrigued by the intergenerational relationships among different generations of Americans, and how culture affects daily life and all that good stuff. But the article is really interesting because it involves interviews and comments from young Asian-American religious leaders and how there has been a kinda movement with the young Asian-American Christian population leading to a shift in beliefs and how they are spread. This is something that I have noticed through high school and college- that the largest thing that shapes a person's morals in everything is religion. This could be seen just at UCI with the number of fellowships, religious groups, and even religous classes that are on this campus. Just think about how this would shape the political minds of our future.
