Working Together
Great post from Chris looking at partnership in youth ministry.
Calling for more "joined up thinking" with partnerships within the church, between churches and with other agencies. Essential stuff.
Of course partnership is never easy.
In my experience it is easier to get youth leaders to work together than "clergy", because they often see the need and benefit of partnership on the ground and tend to be less bogged down with politics.
And I favour the language of partnership between churches over "ecumenism".

Thanks for the link, this is a topic I think I'm going to be coming back to regularly, just spent a good chunk of time this week in meetings with other agencies looking at what true partnership and interfacing could look like.
