<p><span>True, Bob. But since the Silent Generation inherited many of the same values--and that generation was taught to treasure the gains of the GI generation--it is important to understand the GI Generation.

<p>Today, of course, not many of this generation is left. But many of their values were maintained by the Silent Generation, though, as we will see, they have their own set of values and characteristics.</p>

<p>Is the reference only to the US population or US church? 63 million (~20%) of the population sounds high for people 89 and over. Census.gov (US Census) says 1.9 million were 90+ in 2010, which would be less than 1% of the total population. This generation still exists in the church, perhaps at a higher percentage than in the general population, but is quite small with a waning influence.</p>
