A
 quarter century ago, as a local church leader in my 20s, I was already 
forced to rethink the ministry paradigm that worked in my childhood.  I 
would attend workshops offered by the national church, the conference, 
the teaching church or the independent writer/gurus - and the question 
was always very simple: "What will it take to make church - as we know 
it - attractive to and effective with baby boomers?"
