Now that I've erased any shread of my credability with the last two posts, let me try to redeem myself by pointing out
this excellent piece by Brad Drell on the generation gap in the movers and shakers in The Episcopal Church (tm). I think he has hit on something here, and it gives me hope that The Episcopal Church (tm) will weather the silliness of the self-absorbed Boomers now in control. Just for the record, I was born in 1959, but I consider myself an "X-er". Much of my foundation was indeed formed by watching the excesses and silliness of the Boomer generation.
