My good friend and colleage Joe highlights an article on 20-30s leaving the church. I go with Joe on this - integrity counts big time in this arena.
Now dealing with youth and young adults, that L-S-P thing of mine comes into play. Lets listen to what our young people are saying, and hear where they are coming from, rather than assuming we know whats best and simply try to download.
From this conversation there will be wisdom, resources and good places we can usefully sign-post people towards to help them on their journey, and engage meaningfully in the Christian Way.
And such dialogue will inform our prayers for our younger colleagues, so we are not praying for cloning, but for the Spirit to release the emerging generation into a hurting world in ways that we are simply not equipped to imagine.

I agree with you completely.
