Why is there no-one to replace me?

[your.sydneyanglicans.net] 19 Dec 2007--We have a new federal government in Australia. There are several things which are similar between the two main parties, but the most common chorus from both sides has been generational change. The ALP has spoken about the youthfulness of its ministry, and the new opposition leader keeps declaring a new generation for the Liberal party.

It’s not just in politics that generational change is essential. In our churches we must constantly work to raise up the next generation - pastors, evangelists, and people for the myriad of Christian ministries that make up our congregational lives. There are at least four good reasons for doing this.
