	missionary generation
		Not only are students attracted to these schools because of their ties to certain faiths, but also for their academic reputations and strong focus on ethics in every subject and field of study.
		Although she does not claim to know the concrete answer to this question, her research can shed some light on the change that is possible by students at religious colleges.
		One of the possibilities created by this missionary generation is that instead of having to pay for conferences to teach doctors about medical ethics, hospitals can now hire doctors with a bio-ethical background instilled in them during their education.

	Missionary Generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Missionary Generation is the designation given by Strauss and Howe in their book Generations to that generation in the United States of America born from 1860 to 1882.

	Lost Generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Lost Generation was coined by Gertrude Stein to refer to a group of American literary notables who lived in Paris from the time period which saw the end of World War I to the beginning of the Great Depression.
		More generally, the term is being used for the generation of young people coming of age in the United States during and shortly after World War I.
		The "Lost Generation" were said to be disillusioned by the large number of casualties of the First World War, cynical, disdainful of the Victorian notions of morality and propriety of their elders.

	Generation Map, Autumn 2005, Notre Dame Magazine Online - University of Notre Dame
		Riley's description of a surging missionary generation -- rejecting "the spiritually empty education of secular schools," "the sophisticated ennui of their contemporaries" and "the intellectual relativism of professors" -- may refer disproportionately to the growing populations of conservative students at relatively new, small colleges marked by evangelistic, if not evangelical, zeal.
		The four personae, as described in Generations, are the civic, the adaptive, the idealist and the reactive.
		If this "missionary generation" is hungry for faith so as to properly value life and love in a materialist marketplace, then we had better give it to them.

		In the past, each missionary paid his or her actual living expenses, but this approach created large burdens on missionaries who served in expensive areas of the world, so in 1990 a new program was introduced to equalize the burdens.
		In some cases, the general missionary fund is used to pay for missionaries' expenses, but the church discourages relying on this fund and prefers missionaries to pay their missions themselves (this particular church fund is made up of contributions from church membership and monies are generally not taken from tithing or other Church funds).
		Missionaries serving English-speaking missions spend three weeks at the MTC and are trained in the use of proselytizing materials and taught expected conduct.

	Missionary Did You Mean missionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		A missionary is a propagator of religion, often an evangelist or other representative of a religious community who works among those outside of that community.
		The English word "missionary" is derived from Latin, the equivalent of the Greek-derived word, "apostle".
		Although missionaries can be sent by any religion, the word is most often used to refer to Christian missionaries.

	History
		Generations: The History of America’s Future and The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy, William Strauss and Neil Howe outline a fascinating theory of generational cycles in history that has numerous implications for many subfields in psychology, including the psychology of personality, social psychology, abnormal psychology, and child development.
		This is an Idealist or Prophetic generation (most recently, the Boomer generation, born between 1943 and 1960): intensely inner-directed, value-driven, autonomous, idealistic, otherworldly, and generally contemptuous of "the Establishment" erected half a saeculum ago by their grandparents and so assiduously tended by their parents.
		The last such generation was the generation (born between 1901 and 1927) who, as young adults, fought and won World War II: Strauss and Howe note many similarities between the young people of the Great Depression and today's Millennials.

		The oldest member of the previous Idealist generation, the Missionary generation (born 1860-1882), died in 1994 at the age of 112.
		Usually they are willing to leave the philosophical questions to a younger generation as long as they feel that the external (economic or technocratic) contributions they have made remain secure or in their hands.

	The Ultimate Transcendental Generation - American History Information Guide and Reference
		The Transcendental Generation is the name given by William Strauss and Neil Howe in their book Generations for that generation of Americans born from 1792 to 1821.
		Their children were of the Gilded Generation and Progressive Generation and their typical grandchildren were of the Missionary Generation.
		The Transcendentals held a plurality in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1835 to 1869, a plurality in the U.S. Senate from 1841 to 1873, and the majority of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1861 to 1889.

	The John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy : God on the Quad
		From those visits and her experience as a journalist in higher education, Riley posits that graduates of religious institutions, hereafter referred to as the “missionary generation,” seek “to enhance the ethical core of American life, combating the tendencies toward individualism and materialism” The resulting book is a thoroughly entertaining read.
		From time-to-time, the author cites polls or studies that tend to support her view of the “missionary generation” and its growing affect on modern society, but ultimately, she draws her own conclusions from a small and fairly random sample of academics.
		Another common theme throughout God on the Quad is the impending future of the “missionary generation.” Contrary to stereotypes, the author found that wannabe priests, reverends and rabbis are in the minority at most religious schools.

	CityBeat: Sports: Talking 'Bout My Generation (2001-11-01)
		A Reactive generation is born primarily to an Adaptive generation during a spiritual awakening, is under-protected during childhood and comes of age to indignant criticism during an "inner driven" era, just as the preceding Idealistic generation has wrestled the cultural agenda from its preceding Civic generation.
		During this period, the idealistic Missionary Generation (born 1862-1880) came of age, exemplified by the high moral tone of William Jennings Bryan as well as increasing drug and alcohol consumption among these spiritually awakened young adults.
		The early years of the 20th Century are characterized by the birth of a civic G.I. Generation (born 1901-1924) to idealistic late-wave Missionary parents, as well as Missionary control of public institutions as this older generation moved into its midlife.

	Q&A with Naomi Schaefer Riley on God on the Quad on National Review Online
		In it she reports on her travels to a variety of religious colleges in the U.S. In these schools, for the most part, red-state students are escaping the broader secular college to prepare to engage it.
		Religious-college professors are generally hired only after they can explain why they agree with the mission of the school and how their faith will play a role in the way they teach their discipline.
		The missionary generation is coming to a neighborhood, an office, a city council, a soup kitchen, or a school near you.

		Living with and listening to the newer generation of missionary trainees convinced me that a new wineskin was needed for our training to have the optimum effect in their lives.
		For generations incremental changes were happening, but in the more recent years because of the quantum leap in technology, our society has shifted into a new paradigm.
		The young missionary trainee will have to embrace the disciplines that an intimacy-based training implies and join the program fully aware that it won’t be a typical college experience where everyone functions independently of others and where multiple options are given to satisfy personal preferences.

	Robert Wilder
		The story of student missionary activity in America well-dates Robert Wilder and the ``Student Volunteer Movement'' and can be traced back to 1810 and Williams College in Massachusetts, to what is known as the ``Haystack Movement.'' At that time America had not yet sent her first missionary to a foreign land.
		This society took a bold stance on missions with a clear purpose to be raised as missionaries in between Latin and Greek and football practice.
		Born in Korea, Sam was a second-generation missionary to Korea and later, a missionary to China before retiring to Princeton.

	College Students Find Religion
		The Missionary Generation is significant off of college campuses because it signals the “vanguard of a more conservative generation,” says Riley.
		However, the conservatism of this generation is unlike the conservatism of their parents’ generation.
		The Missionary Generation is “more nuanced than the Religious Right of the 1980s.” While religious colleges are sending more and more students into the culture, this is “not the Fourth Great Awakening,” according to Riley.

	G.I. Generation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		The G.I. Generation is the generation of Americans that fought and won World War II, later to become the Establishment and the parents who had a generation gap with their Boomer children.
		The generation is also known as the Greatest Generation (after Tom Brokaw's book), the World War II Generation, the Veteran Generation, the Depression Generation, Builders, and the Traditional Generation or Traditionalists.
		The name "G.I. Generation" was coined by William Strauss and Neil Howe for their book Generations, who put its birthdates from 1901 to 1924, although some, including Brokaw, confine it to approximately the later-born half of this segment, the earlier half sometimes being referred to by an alternate label, the Interbellum Generation.

		And the extraordinary development, with just this decade, of the missionary consciousness, so to speak, in the student-world of both America and Great Britain, suggests the hope that within another decade we may see such numbers of well-equipped messengers in the vast foreign field as to make the proposed distribution seem no visionary prospect.
		No doubt the combined churches of Protestant Christendom could, from 40,000,000 communicants, supply 500,000 missionaries, or one for every 2000 of the unevangelized, and could furnish sinews of war in the shape of $600,000,000 a year for the support of this army of missionaries.
		But the fact that the original generation that Pierson, Taylor and others had hoped to evangelize was now passing away was apparent and brought a certain sadness to these aging pioneers.

	A savvier breed of missionary student \| csmonitor.com
		She calls them "the missionary generation." And "God on the Quad" author Naomi Schaefer Riley believes that as these 1.3 million young people move into the secular world, many will gravitate toward big cities in blue states - New York, Boston, Los Angeles - where their influence may exceed their number.
		This movement, away from overt proselytizing and toward "leading by example," is one of the ways in which the new missionary generation stand apart from their parents.
		As these young people leave the fold - spreading from inland, rural states, whose residents are thought to be religious conservatives, to urban, coastal regions seen as populated by secular liberals - the blue tint on the political map may begin to skew toward purple, a blend of blue and red.

	'God on the Quad' examines religious schools - PittsburghLIVE.com
		The excellence of Naomi Schaefer Riley's narrative of her research findings in "God on the Quad" overcomes two rather dubious assumptions to which those findings are connected.
		For one thing, the "Missionary Generation" Riley refers to in her subtitle tends to beg the question -- that is, to assume the truth of one of the propositions she is trying to prove.
		If there is a "Missionary Generation," it would seem to exist primarily as a label -- like Generation X or Generation Y -- tacked on to a nebulous phenomenon possessing, at best, inconsistent attributes, attitudes and effects.

		Called the "missionary generation" because of its ideals of duty and self-sacrifice, this generation was predominately defined by World War I, Gergen said, noting that most of the leaders had served in the war and were later forced to grapple with economic depression in the country during the 1930s.
		This new generation -- lasting from Kennedy to George H.W. Bush -- also shared some common experiences and values in that they were all born to families that were hard hit by the Depression, they served in the military, and they had World War II as their "crucible" or defining moment, explained Gergen.
		The third and newest generation of leaders -- which began with President Bill Clinton -- came of age in the 1960s, at a time when traditional values were "under assault," recalled Gergen.
