Myrtle Rising: Additional fun fact: I don't think we know how the phoenix actually looked. Despite the flame-like coloring often portrayed in artistic representations, the only physical description I found of it lay in Otzar Midrashim: "It is fat."
Alpa Patel: Gen Alpha is set to overtake their parents in becoming the generation with the greatest spending power in history. Gen Alpha wants the newest technology but won’t compromise their principles - 66% like to buy from companies trying to do good in the world and 51% want a job where technology makes a difference.
Dayna Winter: Ashley Fell, social researcher and co-author of Generation Alpha, also predicts they will value family more, admire "everyday superheroes," and see work from home as a normal way of life. "They will be a more creative and resilient generation due to the challenges they experienced," she says.
Mel Walker: Members of Generation Alpha are likely to be "tech creators" more than they are "tech consumers" – which means that churches and ministries must give this new generation space to create and connect online.
BenQ: Gamification and challenge-reward models work great with Gen Alpha, due to their close affinity to video games. Sitting in a class staring at a board while reading from a textbook doesn't work with Gen Alpha.
James Stokes: Gen Alpha is more diverse than any other generation before, thus businesses that embrace inclusivity are important to them.
GUEST CONTRIBUTOR: What is today Turkey once used to be Greece.
BONNIE JONES: There is no mistake man is labeling this generation Alpha! I believe this generation is the Melchizedek priesthood or the priesthood of perfection being birthed from the womb of the anointing. God is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Therefore the Alpha Generation will swim in the river of water of life flowing from the throne of God. As it was in the beginning in Genesis 2, the river, which flows from Eden and waters the garden, then splits into four branches to reach the whole earth – all the way to Revelation 22. And the Alpha Generation will bring healing to the nations.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible: It is remarked by writers that, among the Athenians, if anyone accused another of a capital crime, he devoted himself and children to the same punishment if the accused was afterward found innocent.
RIVKAH LAMBERT ADLER: Approximately 90% of Arab Christians belong to the Greek Catholic Church or the Greek Orthodox Church.
Wikipedia: The siren of Ancient Greek mythology became conflated with mermaids during the medieval period.
Nicholas Thomas Wright: It is ironic that many people in the modern world have regarded Christianity as a private worldview, a set of private stories. Some Christians have actually played right into this trap. But in principle the whole point of Christianity is that it offers a story which is the story of the whole world. It is public truth. Otherwise it collapses into some version of Gnosticism.
Doreen Ellen Bell-Dotan: Israel is seeing that democracy is no guarantee of safety. We can do better than adopt a flawed ancient Greek device. We must. And we are.
