Being Church for the Boomer Generation? conference
Wednesday 23 November 2011 - Friday 25 November 2011
High Leigh Conference Centre, Hoddesdon, Herts
This ecumenical conference is to help church leaders understand the distinctive sociological group known as Baby Boomers, enabling them to set and resource a Boomer mission agenda for local churches.
The conference will look at:
- how we can re-engage people who have residual Christian faith but have left church
- the ways of relating with those other spiritualities
- what church will look like to connect with this generation.
