Now in my fifties, I do not expect to retire until at least 72 or 75. Older pastors will be necessary to work among seniors as they adjust.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n<li>\n<strong>Giving to their nest egg.<\/strong> &#8220;I suspect we will see seniors, who have been the primary financial support for churches in the last 40 to 50 years, setting aside much more of their resources to support themselves. Ministry will have to look for other ways to fund itself.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n<li>\n<strong>Unpredictable volunteer force.<\/strong> &#8220;Older folks have the energy and ability to make a significant difference for the kingdom.&#8221; But, many of those may be working freelance after retirement. They &#8220;may be unavailable for volunteer work for several months, then later return.&#8221; Kew advises developing short-term mission opportunities for older people.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"is-style-article-source\">\u2014from Net Results (Sept. 2002)<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">War Drums Silenced<\/h2>\n<span style=\"\" class=\"\"><em>New research shows worship styles battle abates.<\/em><\/span>\n<p><strong>A<\/strong> truce may have been called in the battle over drums in the sanctuary. A new study by pollster George Barna indicates fewer pastors are calling their churches&#8217; squabbles over music and instrumentation serious. But, the researcher warns, &#8220;Everything is not OK in Worshipland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;High satisfaction and low frustration does not mean everything is great in worship, because most of these people don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on in worship,&#8221; he told a gathering of musicians at a Texas symposium.<\/p>\n<p>In a study conducted for Baylor University, Barna reports:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u00bb<\/strong> 24% of senior pastors say their churches have music-related tensions. Only 5% said those tensions are &#8220;severe.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u00bb<\/strong> All told, only 7% of Protestant churches have &#8220;severe&#8221; or &#8220;somewhat severe&#8221; tensions over music.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u00bb<\/strong> 3 in 10 adults say worship music is the single most important factor in their choice of a church.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u00bb<\/strong> Women, African Americans, people in congregations of over 500 attenders, and people over age 56 were more likely to be concerned about music.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u00bb<\/strong> Pastors listed worship third in church priorities, behind evangelism and preaching.

And 76% say they would just go along with the changes.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Coverage of &#8220;worship wars&#8221; blew the issue out of proportion, Barna said. Church leaders encouraged the debate by offering additional musical styles to satisfy the personal preferences of their congregations, rather than &#8220;dealing with the underlying issues of limited interest in, comprehension of, and investment in fervent worship of a holy, deserving God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Barna identified four groups who are &#8220;worship challenged&#8221;\u2014<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Men (&#8220;self-reliant and emotionally closed&#8221;)<\/li>\n\n<li>Gen-X (&#8220;self-focused and unskilled in worship&#8221;)<\/li>\n\n<li>Whites (lag behind blacks and Hispanics in understanding worship)<\/li>\n\n<li>&#8220;Notional Christians&#8221; (worship attenders without a personal relationship with Christ).<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>&#8220;Revitalization might begin by evangelizing those in the pews,&#8221; Barna told the musicians.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-article-source\">\u2014information from Associated Baptist Press and Barna Research Group<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-article-copyright\">Copyright &copy; 2003 by the author or Christianity Today\/<em class=\"citation\">Leadership<\/em> Journal.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/le\/help\/permissionsprivacy\/permissions.html#answer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"copyright\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for reprint information on <em class=\"citation\">Leadership<\/em> Journal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coping with an Aging Population Pastor and futurist Richard Kew predicts, as Baby Boomers near retirement age and the numbers of elderly increase, local churches will be faced with these challenges: \u2014from Net Results (Sept. 2002) War Drums Silenced New research shows worship styles battle abates.
