Covenant Seminary Church History Prof, Sean Michael Lucas has an interesting post called "Generational Difference and Complementarianism". It's worth the read. (For those of you who don't know what complementarianism is just read a definition here.)
In it he cited a post from Mark Dever. It would be my hope that you read Mark's post first.
After you read both:
My take...
1. Could it be that the older pastors have been around the block so many times that they feel like they are sick of getting beat up over this issue? Doesn't make it right to not fight the fight, but it is understandable how one can get worn down and change emphasis after years of abuse at the hands of those who disagree.
2. The young cats have little or no experience at getting kicked around in the church, so they are more than willing to jump up to the front lines of battle on this issue.
