Divides in politics, religion, and education get blamed for many of society’s problems today. But what if the differences between age generations — i.e. millennials, baby boomers, Gen X, Gen Z — matter more than those? On Page 10, contributor Elise Italiano Ureneck takes a close look at a popular psychologist’s research into the “generation wars” and the cost of progress, before asking: Can faith succeed where technology has failed?

Winters to help bring consolation to a<br />
grieving community.<br />
“This one action has caused so much<br />
destruction, left such a gaping hole<br />
that affects the whole community,” he<br />
said.<br />
In Santa Clarita that included the<br />
likes of Alison Hunsaker, who taught<br />
at West Ranch High School where<br />
Clinkunbroomer ran track and cross<br />
country and participated in several<br />
extracurricular activities. Hunsaker,<br />
who was Clinkunbroomer's English<br />
teacher, told NBC4 <strong>News</strong> that she<br />
“so wants his mom to know about<br />
the people he touched. His life is still<br />
resonating with them. Just about the<br />
kindness, the friendship, and the comradery<br />
that he shared with so many<br />
people. When we talk about the kind<br />
of law enforcement officers we want<br />
in our country, Ryan was that guy.”<br />
Winters acknowledged a tragedy like<br />
this one can cause some to not only<br />
question God but, “push away in anger.”<br />
He knows that he will be talking<br />
to many parishioners struggling with<br />
Clinkunbroomer’s passing, struggling<br />
to make sense out of the senseless.<br />
“For someone suffering through this,<br />
I’ll want them to know it’s OK to be<br />
angry, in fact, it’s understandable,”<br />
Winters said. “But it’s important not<br />
to nurture it, not allow it to take us<br />
over. Pushing God away is not going<br />
to help. This is why we have faith, for<br />
moments like this.”<br />
