“I cannot think of a more valuable book for pastors, lay leaders and anyone concerned about the future of the church than Carol Howard Merritt’s Tribal Church: Ministering to the Missing Generation. Anyone who wants to understand better the young people who are coming to their church (or those who are not coming!) and how we can better respond to their quest for faith, meaning, life and love should read this book, and read it with care. ” --Michael Jinkins Academic Dean and Professor of Pastoral Theology, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary and author of several books, including Letters to New Pastors.  There are few places left in society where real intergenerational connections can be made, yet these connections are vital for any church that seeks to reflect the fullness of the body of Christ. Carol Howard Merritt, a pastor in her mid-thirties, suggests a different way for churches to reach out to the missing generation. Outlining the financial, social, and familial situations that affect many young adults, she describes how churches can provide a safe, supportive place for them to nurture relationships and foster spiritual growth.
