Contemplative Youth Ministry

Needless anxiety, escalating work hours, and blurred boundaries result while our kids remain just as bored and unfocused as ever. So we talk more, program more, work more, and the spiral continues.

Why do you need this book? Because there are treasures in tradition.

He models how to do this through historic discernment practices of Christian communities such as: Ignatian contemplative practices, Quaker clearness counsels, consensus decision making, silence

But Jones cautions us all: 'These are not gimmicks. This isn?t an Ideas book or a discussion starter book or a great-games-for-over-50-kids-i n-a-gym book. This is a strange book. Although it's about spiritual exercises and their application in the practice of youth ministry, please practice them before you implement them!

Paperback, Practicing Discernment With Youth: A Transformative Youth Ministry Approach
How can responsibility for youth ministry be returned to local congregations? In Practicing Discernment with Youth, White uses historical discernment practices in Christian communities, such as Ignatian contemplative practices, Quaker clearness counsels, consensus decision making, and silence. Biblical reflection that emerged from the Protestant Reformation and social analysis of Latin American base communities are also used. The book is divided into two parts. In Part One, a theologically based youth program is described. In Part Two, a practical program is splayed out so that local youth ministers can engaged groups in reflection and discussion.
