In the first of a new six-part series, Suzi Farrant and Darren Phillip consider the meaning and practice of intergenerational church.
AS Christians, we believe in a God of abundance, joy, hope and life, yet over the last few years conversations about the future of the Church of Scotland have often revolved around scarcity, decline, despair and death. Something is not matching up. Either our view of God is wrong or we are missing something in our view of what the church is and should be. Assuming it is the latter, can we dare believe that God is calling us, the church, into a new story; a story filled with faith, hope and love?
