A group of us are trying to do a similar sort of thing as Tribal Generation (ie. networking people trying to work out new ways of doing things for a new generation of Christians), but in the context of Christian missions activity. Just as many young people feel alienated by the church, so many young Christians feel alientated by missionary agencies, to the detriment of God's kingdom in the world. We are trying to address this problem by widening our a network of younger GenerationX-age(ish) missions workers who are trying to (a) push for change in the way missions agencies operate, and (b) encourage the development of new ways of doing mission that Xers and beyond can identify with. Our website is a key way of linking up with people who are concerned about such stuff, especially isolated missionaries in the back of beyond.


We have recently launched, under the auspices of Global Connections (formerly the UK Evangelical Missionary Alliance), a new website that seeks to provide resources for those who are trying to carry out Christian mission in the emerging postmodern culture, or who are concerned about the impact of postmodernity on Christian mission.

We have included a number of important articles that deal with subjects such as:
- What is postmodernity?
- Why do many from Generation X find it so hard to fit into existing missions structures?
- Can mission agencies do anything to help GenX and Millennials fit better in missions?
- How much of what we traditionally do as missionaries is really governed by scripture rather than the philosophy of modernity?
- Can traditional mission agencies have a future in the emerging postmodern culture?
- What are the attributes of the so-called Millennial Generation? Will they fit into missions any better than Generation X?
- Is it possible to "do" mission that is both authentically Christian and authentically postmodern?
More articles will be added shortly.

In due course we will also be adding an increasing number of reviews of books that deal with these and related issues.
