March 23, at 10 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "In Our Hard Times: Stories of Learnings and Listening Together, Across the Generations"

Rev. Claudia Elferdink will explore what we can learn by listening to each other and learning how different generations coped with the challenges they faced and are facing now.

"Listening together, we learn how differently we experience our current challenging times. It can be hard to remember how each generation is shaped differently by the distinct political and cultural powers in their formative years," Elferdink said.

"Our elders, in the baby boomer generation, will share what they learned from confronting government power in the Vietnam and Civil Rights era. In contrast, people in younger generations such as Gens X, Y and Z, had very different political and economic experiences. Large college debt, difficulty finding jobs, and working without retirement or medical benefits gives us a another understanding of American life. Racism continues and the wealth gap grows. How do young people see and respond to current hard times? Hearing each other may help us understand our differences and may bring us more together," she added.
