Some steps have been taken, but boomers will not rest until the Adventist church affirms not only the equality of all races but the equality of both genders. A major item here is the inclusion of women at all levels of church polity, including the ordained ministry. Third, boomers are still idealists, believing that those with much have a responsibility toward those with little. They first filled the ranks of the Peace Corps and the student missionary program in the '60s. Many still have a strong social consciousness and expect their church to be involved in fighting hunger, homelessness, prejudice and discrimination.
Boomers appreciate worship that is lively and participative.
They attend church to worship God. They do not want to sit passively in a pew watching others participate for them. In a world consumed by difficulties, they want to celebrate a God who stands by their sides in the midst of problems and encompasses them with divine arms. They will give their idealism, their energy, their time and their money. Some say boomers will not commit.
