Lessons gleaned from some 30 more \u201cLet\u2019s Talk\u201d conversations comprise a new book by the now retired Paulsen.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Paulsen, who prioritized ministry to youth and young adults during his administration, is widely known for the \u201cLet\u2019s Talk\u201d television broadcasts \u2014 a series of some 30 live, unscripted discussions that spanned seven years and a dozen countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s Talk: Conversations With Young Adventists About Their Church\u201d reflects on the ideas sparked by those conversations, but more importantly, Paulsen says, the book is meant to kindle a lasting dialogue between generations of Adventists.<\/p>\n<p>Each chapter begins with edited samples of questions young people asked Paulsen, either during the \u201cLet\u2019s Talk\u201d broadcasts or on the accompanying website. Reflection on the issues and ideas raised follows; then comes \u201cconversation starters\u201d designed to spur further discussion. Paulsen says he envisions groups of Adventists \u2014 young and old alike \u2014 gathering regularly to have these conversations, carving out a space to move forward together as a church.<\/p>\n<p>Paulsen, who served as Adventist world church president from 1999 to 2010, made appeals early in his administration to officials from all the church\u2019s world divisions, calling on them to \u201cchange the pattern\u201d of church leadership and elect a quota of young delegates. Later on, Paulsen spearheaded efforts to include more young adults on the church\u2019s highest decision-making body, the 300-member Executive Committee.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview, Paulsen reflected on these efforts, the \u201cLet\u2019s Talk\u201d conversations, and shared the lessons he hopes the church will continue to embrace in the coming years. Edited excerpts:<\/p>\n<p>Adventist News Network: What struck you most when you began this series of conversations with young people?<\/p>\n<p>Jan Paulsen: I learned very quickly that although some of their questions may seem frivolous, or superficial, in their hearts they cared very deeply for the church. It was clear to me that they were concerned with big issues as well. They want their church to look good and to be effective.<\/p>\n<p>ANN: What is the single most important thing older Adventists can do to engage young believers?<\/p>\n<p>Paulsen: Talk to them. And keep the conversation going. When people do not talk to each other, what happens? They walk away from each other. And a second thought\u2014the church needs to find ways to trust its young adults. They are bright, they are full of energy, they have spiritual gifts, they would like for that to flow into the life of the church. They are not reluctant; they\u2019re just frustrated that it doesn\u2019t happen. I say, trust them enough to give them space to make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>ANN: Are there steps young people should take to encourage this relationship of trust?<\/p>\n<p>Paulsen: When people do not communicate, caricatures appear. And yes, that goes both ways. Older members have a number of very legitimate concerns that it\u2019s helpful for the young people to understand. So they need to be drawn into that sense of conversation, the sharing of time, the sharing of agenda, the sharing of concerns. Because it is very much a two-way process.<\/p>\n<p>ANN: What\u2019s one of the key areas you were regularly questioned about?<\/p>\n<p>Paulsen: One of the issues which young people find hard to understand is by what criteria do we maintain standards\u2014say, jewelry, makeup, dress, you name it. So if I buy something that I hang around my neck, many older ones will say, \u201cThat\u2019s wrong,\u201d not only because it\u2019s decorative, but because I have wasted money on it. But some older ones will go out and buy much more expensive clothes and cars, and the young person asks, \u201cWho wasted more money here? Is there a consistent standard?\u201d It\u2019s not that they are probing so much to find fault with the older ones, but that they would like to see consistency that they can then demonstrate themselves. It\u2019s a difficult one.<\/p>\n<p>ANN: In your book, you call the rate at which young people are leaving the church \u201ccatastrophic.\u201d Other Adventists might say the rate of evangelism in some parts of the world is equally troubling. How do you convince a church with limited time and resources that the youth are a valid mission field?<\/p>\n<p>Paulsen: First of all, they\u2019re part of our family. To me, that is a huge factor. If they\u2019re part of my family, God has told us\u2014and our prophet [church co-founder Ellen G. White] has reminded us many times\u2014of the huge responsibility we have to our families. So I\u2019ve got to make it a priority to look after the children and young people in my church. They are my family. We\u2019ll do everything we can [in other mission fields], but if we do not attend to this one, we will be judged harshly, I fear. And furthermore, young people make up 50 percent of our church. Sometimes I ask myself, \u201cWhat\u2019s this church going to look like if we\u2019re still here 30, 40 years from now?\u201d Those who ask me the difficult questions today are going to be the senior members of our church then.<\/p>\n<p>ANN: During a year in which the church is observing 150 years of ministry, we\u2019re reminded of just how young many of our pioneers were. Why aren\u2019t we seeing this many prominent young leaders today?<\/p>\n<p>Paulsen: I think you can go back even further. The disciples and our Lord himself were under 30. I say in my book that the stumbling block is that young people don\u2019t have experience. But experience is an overrated value. I would value higher than experience, the right attitude, the makeup of the person, her basic personality, is he a kind person? Kindness is a huge value. Some people are by nature difficult, even argumentative. It\u2019s difficult to come across consideration and generosity. These are qualities, which to me are of critical importance to the function of the church. Experience you will always gain along the way as you do the job. There is no other way of getting it. I would urge our leaders to find a young person who is wiling, who cares for the church, who loves the Lord, who would like to be engaged, and let them loose. After all, we believe, do we not, that the Holy Spirit has been poured out on them. What does Acts two say? That in the last days, the Holy Spirit would be poured out on your sons and daughters.<\/p>\n<p>ANN: The church has recently made some efforts to include more young people in top decision-making roles. I\u2019m thinking specifically of the young adult delegates that represented the church at the 2005 and 2010 General Conference sessions. Do you see this as the way forward?<\/p>\n<p>Paulsen: I think it is important, but it\u2019s more like the church is sending a signal through this. I think it is much more important to see this level of engagement at the local church level. I would like to see enough trust present that those who are more advanced in years are willing to vote for young adults to carry elected responsibilities in the local church. Furthermore, I think that at certain local boards, such as conference executive committees or the board of a school or institution, that efforts be made to hand pick young professionals\u2014people who are in their mid-20s to mid-30s, people who are already working professionals, and who have a perspective and insight that they can bring to the benefit of the institution.<\/p>\n<p>ANN: What about the \u201cLet\u2019s Talk\u201d series do you think most connected with Adventist young people worldwide?<\/p>\n<p>Paulsen: I discovered that the important thing was not necessarily the answers. Yes, young people expected some answers, but of greater importance was the fact that they could talk to a church leader about these things. And there were times where I said, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d Or when they would ask, and I would answer, \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d and gain a new perspective. So it was the dynamics of that conversation, which I think was important for them. I think also there was a certain appeal in the medium of television. This was an opportunity to talk to the wider church. And it was wonderfully fulfilling for me. It was a joy to be with them, a joy to see how they think and what they are able to engage in. So many times, I would at the end of a conversation sit back and think, \u201cWhat an incredible family we have.\u201d And I vowed to myself that I would address rights and wrongs, but I would never sit in judgment of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new book by retired Seventh-day Adventist world church President Jan Paulsen amplifies the questions, concerns and best hopes of hundreds of young people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21368,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nouvelles-de-leglise-mondiale"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
