80's leadership

I currently work in the denomination with the greatest percentage of 70+ people in Australia (at least that's what the NCLS survey's say) and it would be fair to say that many of the church councils and decision making bodies are guided by "the grey haired brigade."


Last night, during a meeting, a bloke said "A congregation that relies on 80 year olds for its leadership doesn't only lack a future, but it has little present."


Previously, I've professed my love for watching Parliament Question Time and the best part is the banter for and against the respective respondent to the question.


With the sounds of PQT flooding my mind, when I heard that statement uttered last night, I wanted to heartily respond "HERE HERE!"
