What millennials really want from the church is not a change in style but a change in substance. We
want an end to the culture wars. We want a truce between science and
faith. We want to be known for what we stand for, not what we are
against. We want to ask questions that don’t have predetermined answers. We
want churches that emphasize an allegiance to the kingdom of God over
an allegiance to a single political party or a single nation. We want our LGBT friends to feel truly welcome in our faith communities. We
want to be challenged to live lives of holiness, not only when it comes
to sex, but also when it comes to living simply, caring for the poor
and oppressed, pursuing reconciliation, engaging in creation care and
becoming peacemakers.
