Andy Nash: My generation is better than your generation
I was born in 1959, and I wouldn’t want to be growing up at any other time (“My generation is better than your generation,” Connections Vol 25, No 4). I enjoyed my childhood—the memories of my life then remind me now how lucky I was. We didn’t have the technology we have today, but we also didn’t have the pressure or the stress. We lived simply. We were taught to respect our elders. We understood the consequences for behaviours. We had our parents at home after school and time on the weekends to enjoy being a family. Dinner was a time to talk about our day, to ask questions and, of course, to eat a home-cooked meal together, not a rushed takeaway in front of the TV. There’s no way I’d want to change when I grew up.

Brad Watson: Adventist Activism citation
Good to hear, Brad (“Chapter earns activism citation,” Connections Vol 25 No 6). I have added the book—Mission and Development: God’s Work or Good Works?—to my future reading list.
