Hence, we have included a section called “Inspiring Lives” with their profiles for our readers’ ease of connecting with them.

Career Growth 3. Leadership 4. Social Awareness & Sensitivity Each section has chapters that would help an individual in any specific sphere of their life. This book could be read in sequence, or any chapter can be referred to in any order as per the reader’s choice or need. The intent is to help an individual in their holistic growth.

We are in this together—all ages practicing, all ages becoming God’s people. Often, intergenerational initiatives are seen as the next new church trend, or another programming tool for church growth and revitalization. Ultimately, though, intergenerational practice is at the core of what it means for us to be the body of Christ. God intends for all ages to participate in faith formation together; we are formed in our practice of intergenerationallity as we participate in the formation of becoming God’s people. All Ages Becoming brings theologians, practitioners, and ministry leaders, representing diverse denominations, generations, cultures, and geographical locations, together to help us explore this adventure of intergenerational Christian practice. As you consider intergenerational practice in your own faith community, each chapter provides “Theology in Practice” sections with questions designed to help your community reflect, discuss, discover, experiment, reinvent, redesign, and continue in your community of practice.
