Youth Minstry and Fear
While here at Cliff I took the chance to look through some retro Youth Minstry books in the library.
Youth in the City by Peter Stow with Mike Fean was a late 80's look at "open" youth minstry and the inner cities. It's a telling book, as it seems in reality little has really changed in terms of churches really engaging with young people in our cities.
But it was this phrase the really struck me:
"A church's youth policy often exposes the fears of its members" (p40).

maybe a lot of policies in a church should expose the fears of its members perhaps?
