Many young Americans share an impression that Christians are “hypocritical,” “insensitive” and “judgmental.” This does not provide a good basis for Christians to share the good news of Jesus with this generation.
David Kinnaman wrote a thought-provoking book on groundbreaking research into the perceptions of sixteen- to twenty-nine-year-olds toward Christians. See http://www.unchristian.com/book.asp .
Kinnaman is one of the keynote speakers at a one-day symposium at Messiah College entitled “Next Generation: Understanding its faith practices and impact upon faith communities”.
This event is on January 28, 2010 from 8:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. For only $15 you get to interact with David Kinnaman and other speakers. Register by January 15th in order to get the $15 rate. Check this out on-line at http://www.messiah.edu/church_relations/symposium_for_leaders/keynote.html .
The price is good. It looks like the speakers will be thought-provoking (and sometimes irritating). And lunch is included. Could be a good day.
Good News Church, pastored by Al Sones is close to Messiah College. Contact him if you have questions: alsones@aol.com .
