Supposed to be running a Youthworkers Away Day right now - but nobody wanted to/was able to come (not sure which!!). No worries though - gives me more time to pack - just boxing up work stuff - all those books and files which I should probably sort through!

Been re-reading God and the Generations by David Hilborn and Matt Bird - some interesting insights about cultural change and generations. The first couple of chapters come down quite clearly against niche "youth church" but it raises some good questions about the biblical notion of generations and how that relates to todays analysis. Also how the church has swallowed work in this area done primarily by marketing people.
