Transition…how do we do it?
By Chuck on May 28, 2008 in Featured
In an article I wrote about a year and a half ago called, “Graduating From Church: an honest look at transitioning high school grads” I included the following statement:
“The college-age years have become a late adolescent stage of exploration versus a time of consistent maturity. Most late adolescents view adulthood as a desirable time of stability—but from their perspective it’s also a time where autonomy, spontaneity, exploration, and essentially all liberty ends.”
Do you think the definition and perception college-age people have of adulthood is a factor in the amount detaching from the adult life in our churches? Why, or why not? If so, how can we help change their definition?
