[Carpenter]

I am just curious if those UPC prechers, pastors, and even saints are waiting for their baby boomer parents to become irrelevant or pass off the scene in order for them to promote social change within the UPC.

I was in a special service some time ago where the much older ministers crowded around the son of the very prolific prolific pastor of the church where the service is being held. The sermon was holding up the old paths and resisting change and all that. As they crowded around to pray for him you know what? To me he seemed less than enthusiastic about the whole deal...no way will he pastor, does he pastor like his father.

There are a few young men that of course have no intention to change, but then there are others that I believe are just waiting for something to take place...I don't know what that is, but collectively something feels like it is going on.
