Generational Tension in the Church and how in Christ unity is possible (from D.A. Carson)

Article on the Desiring God blog referring to D.A.Carson's thoughts on the conflict that arises between generations. In this case the 'boomers' and the 'millennials'. Read the desiring God summary here and the original Carson article here.

Here's a quote

No institution, organization, entity, or group on the planet has more reason to turn the lemon of generational tension into the lemonade of generational harmony than the Church. Jesus himself is building his Church. And Jesus himself is the great meeting place of peoples who would otherwise be at odds — and his value is seen in diverse peoples coming together because of him. The cross is the common ground where Boomers and Millennials and even Gen Xers can stand together.
