15th May 2024: 2.00pm-4.00pm
A Zoom conference to explore the principles of intergenerational work and to consider what we can do to become more intergenerational in our church communities.
In this seminar we will be joined by Lorraine George from Generations Working Together, who will help us explore what we mean by intergenerational work and the impact it can have on society. The authors of the book ‘Being an Intergenerational Church: Practices to Bring The Generations Back Together’, Suzi Farrant and Darren Philip will then invite us into the world of church communities where people of all ages come together in intergenerational relationships.
Through the seminar we will consider the following questions and more:
- What’s the difference between intergenerational and multigenerational work?
- How can you tell when something is intergenerational?
- What impact does being intergenerational have in faith communities?
- How can be become more intergenerational in what we do?
Generations Working Together is the nationally recognised centre of excellence supporting the development and integration of intergenerational work across Scotland. In 2020 it launched a call for Scotland to become the first intergenerational nation. GWT believes that intergenerational work has a unique and significant contribution to make in our communities by connecting people across generations.
Being an Intergenerational Church: Practices to bring the generations back together’ by Suzi Farrant and Darren Philip was published in August 2023. Reviews of this book have stated that “it has the potential to radically transform the experience of church for all ages” (Chris Barnett, Intergen, Australia) and “it provides a compelling hope filled vision of becoming an intergenerational church” (Rev Dr Ken Jeffrey).
