Strategies for reaching a returning generation Roger Standing Many of the baby boomer generation are returning to church and rediscovering the faith that they left behind after Sunday school. Roger Standing (Tutor for Mission, Church Planting and Evangelism and Spurgeon's College, London) sets out strategies for reaching out to this prodigal generation, suggesting through a series of fictional case studies how the church might respond to the baby boomer generation. He also addresses issues of style, worship, language and pastoral care.

Roger Standing is tutor for Mission, Church Planting and Evangelism and Spurgeon's College, London. With over thirty years of experience in church ministry and evangelism, he was previously the Regional Minister / Team Leader for the Southern Counties Baptist Association. He has also written Finding the Plot (Paternoster, 2004) and Preaching for the Unchurched in an Entertainment Culture (Grove Books, 2002) and has contributed to Third Way, The Baptist Times and Leadership Journal.

From The Methodist Recorder July 2008

In Re-Emerging Church - Strategies For Reaching a Returning Generation, Standing draws on 30 years' experience of Baptist ministry and evangelism and his current role of tutor for mission, evangelism and pioneer ministry at Spurgeon's College, London. He also experienced a moment of revelation at a football match in Reading, when being surrounded by the accents of his childhood led him to realise the importance of 'nostalgia and roots'.

Mr Standing offers thoroughly realistic and believable case studies (drawn from real-life events) of the sophisticated, media-savvy, social justice-conscious boomers finding their way back to churches of all denominations.

He also examines the gulf that can appear between 'loyalists' and 'returners'. He acknowledges the difficulties and tensions that may arise between those who have 'grown up in a faith' and those who are 'growing in faith', while concluding that 'the body of Christ will be built up as it presses on to maturity and the whole measure of the fullness of Christ'.
