I read with some amusement the article, "Needed: More Than One Kind of Liturgy" [TLC, Dec. 19]. The comment by the Rev. Charles Fulton that Generation Xers "hate our music" is a bit of an overstatement. As a member of this generation, I don't hate it. In fact, it's what led me to become an Episcopalian. And I know many of my friends and others (also of this generation) share my thoughts.

I find it interesting how often people of an older (perhaps even pre-baby boomer) generation seek to categorize us into one category of lazy, unenthused people who are interested in nothing deeper than face-value entertainment. Barbara Resch completed a study a few years ago, "Teenagers and Church Music," which came to conclusions at odds with Fr. Fulton's summaries.

Finally, I'm curious to know how many members of various diocesan liturgy and music commissions are under the age of 35. Stop telling us what we want, and start asking.
