In
exploring where to go and what to do for this
ministry – in looking for directions – we decided
to ask young people
like
yourselves for the direction we should
take. After interviewing young adults across
Australia for a number of months, we realized
that today you face many issues and challenges.
Some
of these were expressed in your
desires to:
-
Find balance in the business of
your
lives
-
Explore
your
own spirituality
-
Make a contribution in the world and
-
Try to overcome
your
distrust and separation from the institutional
church
You
reminded us that we need to meet you ‘where
you are’, to use adequate language you can relate
to, and to consider the pressures and challenges
that you face in the world today. But most importantly,
what we encountered
in you
was a group of young people who
are
generous, open, inquisitive and who
possess
great desires. |
