From the desk of researcher George Barna...

This article by the noted pollster of church life tells us about the differences in the Baby Boomers (age 40 & up) who are pastoring churches and those of us in Generation X (I loathe the term baby busters, hence will not use it). One of the more interesting (and sad?) findings:

"Perhaps because of their increased sensitivity to media influence, Buster pastors (46%) are more likely than are Boomer pastors (30%) to prioritize ministry to families, youth, and children. The study showed that Buster pastors are also focusing more attention than do their predecessors on spiritual growth, discipleship, and Bible study (37% to 27%)."

What were these pastors doing with their life and time then?
