Today was in a meeting to discuss youth worker training, in the midst of the conversations there were some gems from the marvellous Brec Seaton. It has got me wondering if my exploration of a new kind of church community in Lancaster combined with my youth work experience and training have a connection... maybe I am not put of my depth with the new stuff as I have been leading 'church' for years with young people.
So if there are so- called youth workers in our churches they might be church leaders in cunning disguse. But the challenge to my work in that , and the institution of church , is what are we doing to train, support and develop these church leaders? Little I would suggest because we thought they were 'just' youth workers and we've been offering training and support for that.
