Talking 'Bout My Generation

The Orange Songbook

Are 1st generation members generally faithful, uneducated, traumatised, vertically oriented and unable to work in groups? Are 2nd generation members generally cynical, career focused, traumatised, suspicious of leadership and naturally able to make friends and work in teams? 1st and 2nd generation members increasingly need to work together. This is no more so apparent in the process of 2nd generation matching and blessing, which requires the cooperation of parents and children. However there's a significant tension between the generations due to some qualitative differences. This week the blokes compare sweeping generalisations about the first two generations and wonder if they'll ever be able to work together effectively.
