IssuesFrom the horse’s mouth: “We need young people leading church so it isn’t boring”
Liz Skudder is the youth outreach worker at Christchurch, Billericay. She spoke to Eleanor and Rebecca about young people leading in their church. This conversation highlights the need for young people’s voices to be prominent among church leadership conversations. Liz is doing a great job empowering the young people, but this discussion shows that it’s not easy or a short-term task. It is wonderful, in the trickiness of it all, to hear Eleanor and Rebecca’s enthusiasm for their church, demonstrating the vitality that young people bring to the mix. Eleanor is 13 and plays in the church youth band. Her hobbies are musical theatre and dance. Rebecca is also 13. She swims and is obsessed with Harry Potter. She plays the flute in the church youth band.

BlogThe Youth Work Book Club: Walter Wink’s 'The Powers That Be'
Welcome to The Youth Work Book Club. In 2016 CONCRETE formed a theology and youth ministry reading group. The aim of the group is to read something thought provoking every six weeks and meet to reflect on it in light of, specifically urban, youth ministry. The group for this first edition is made up of James Fawcett from CONCRETE, Naomi Luff from XLP and Tim Broadbent from St Mary's, Islington but will be joined by members of the Premier Youthwork team. The first book we read was the Powers That Be by the theologian Walter Wink. What follows is a brief summary of the book and highlights of a conversation about the text. Next month, we’ll be reading The Spiritual City by Phillip Sheldrake. Grab a copy, and get involved.

So each month he will review an old book, and explain why it’s worth your precious time. The only qualification? That the author be deader than CS Lewis.
