Being the technophobe not sure if this is the right place to start this. I am curious about the theological underpinnings or not of this project. I know this can take several different directions - ecclesiology, mission etc but be interested in hearing from those who started the project the assumptions that you started with. If people join in, the discussion examining those assumptions may be of benefit to those responsible for running and developing the project. I suppose part of my initial interest is a) intentionality of church and whether this is intrinisic to mission b) contextual or liberationist theological perspectives i.e. how does workers Christianity relate to the context of working with young people in particular contexts with particular life stories and cultural practices and c) how does intentionality around church link to faith commitments and ethical understandings of youth work practice. Thanks for inviting me to join in and hope this is a helpful first contribution. Tim

Just saying hello.
Will be interested to see your powerpoint. The young people I was working with last year were caught up in dealing with some difficult personal circumstances, so found it hard to be outward looking - which of course is harder for young people often in any case. So I focussed on encouraging the group to pray for issues and people. From that I felt their concern would naturally form and emerge in God's time into action.
