Read the Introduction
In this intentionally grounded and richly theological volume, the editors bring together ethnically and generationally diverse leaders from pulpit and academy alike to explore the opportunities for ministry in the Asian North American Christian community. Each acknowledges that this community is increasingly challenged by a generation gap, not so much between age groups but between first-generation immigrants and the second- and third-generations.
Ministry issues addressed include:
• Pastoral formation
• Women in ministry
• Lay leadership
• Public life
• Global mission
Each chapter of Honoring the Generations provides both theological and practical resources for those "in the trenches" of cross-cultural and cross-generational church ministry, regardless of ethnicity
