Discussion Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/genx Description: "This list is to discuss issues relating to Generation X (those born between 1963 and 1983). Issues include: definitions of Gen-X, applying Gen X definitions to people (who fits, and who doesn't), what influences Gen X (such as postmodernism, music, media, etc), and Gen X cultural issues. It is specifically geared to discussing how Christians should respond to the postmodern Gen X generation. It is a practical list, as well as a theoretical one. It will produce ideas, resources, and many helpful aids in reaching Generation X for Jesus."  Recommended by Earl Creps(Posted 11/15/2001)
