Also, just found this old article:

Gen-X Christians want their churches to be spiritual, not hip

"The church always goes wrong when it tries to appear cool. It never goes wrong when it tries to attend to people's deepest thirst."

"I'm not necessarily in favor of taking Smashing Pumpkins and Sarah McLachlan and making that church music," Beaudoin said. "I find most Gen-Xers suspicious when the church comes too closely to resemble what they're doing in their secular lives."

"For example, he said, "I work with so many young, moderate-to-progressive-thinking Catholics who want to pray the Rosary, who are interested in Marian adoration, very curious about the Latin Mass, and who love Taize-style worship."
