I’m speaking at the ‘Why care about Y?’ conference on 31 March on the topic of ‘Reaching Gen Y.’ As I’ve been researching the topic, I’ve been trying to work out the difference between culture and generation. We like to say that Gen Y are all technologically savvy, but so am I (and others older than me) who are Gen X (or even Boomers.)
It’s interesting researching the range of opinions on the topic across the Internet. However, it reminds me again of the fact that ministry to God’s people must be prepared to change style, but never substance; language, but never message.
Further details about the conference can be found at www.mac.edu.au It goes from 9.30am to 1pm, and costs $25. Greg Clarke will also be speaking.

hey jodie
good to catch up
say hello to the family!

Mr Miers, you are a cheeky man.
For the sake of those who just joined us, Dave is making reference to my comments at the Gen Y conference about how I find it weird to read personal comments on blogs.
I expected, when I switched to using a blog that allowed comments, that the statements would be debate/discussion about the topic, not the kinds of chit-chat you’d expect in an email.
But, that just shows how Gen X I really am!
it’s interesting on my blog…
there have been a number of big issues that have been thrown around… but more often than not the most comments come when there is a guessing competition or people talk about coffee when it’s got nothing to do with the actual post! very PoMo!
my guess is that not many of the xers and boomers from the conference will read your blog!
peaceout
How will I know if they have read the blog? Only if they comment…
Gen Xers and Boomers, here’s your invitation. Prove Dave wrong by posting me a comment. And in the process, you can show how hip and happening you really are!
hip and happening
evidence jodie it losing touch with gen y!
it’s been a couple of months… and the flood of gen xers and boomers continue to comment on this post!!
That’s when they’re not already preoccupied updating their status in Facebook…
