NLYP is Right; This Elder Stuff is Out of Hand
I am flabbergasted at the lack of youth I see in our movement.
I was at District Conference this week and one of the few young men there actually asked a question during the business session. He prefaced his remarks with this disclaimer "I apologize for bringing this up, I know I am too young".
Three observations.
1. The guy was over thirty and considered himself "too young" to ask questions.
2. My District Sup was awesome. He very emphatically stated that "you are not too young to ask questions".
3. While I love our elders, the younger crowd feels emasculated. They feel powerless to speak for fear they will be labelled as rebellious and ungrateful.
