Abstract

The term Generation X describes a group ranging in age from, approximately, 25 to 40 years. This paper will explore some of the challenges facing those who are involved in the theological education of a particular subset, Generation X Catholics. The discussion will be situated within an Australian context. Much of the educational context for working with Generation X Catholics involves recognizing that the experiences that they bring to the world of adult learning are distinctive and differ from those of older Catholics. Along with their peers in the wider culture, Generation X Catholics display certain disconnectedness with their cultural and religious heritage. A number of implications of this analysis are offered to better understand the educational needs of this group.
