| Summary: | In addition to briefly examining biblical and empirical support for intentional intergenerationl ministry, Dr. Allen [the article?] primarily addresses the question: Why might intergenerational Christian experiences contribute significantly to faith and spiritual development? She integrates concepts from situated learning theory [e.g., fully participating with more experienced practitioners] with some of Vygotsaky's sociocultural ideas [e.g., learning in complex, authentic environments, zone of proximal development] to forge a learning macrotheory that explicates the basic learning principles at work in intergenerational Christian community. Dr. Allen also offers practical ideas for those who desire to cultivate a more intergenerational outlook as well as some specific ways to bring the generations together. |
