Absolutely should be funding employed children’s, youth and family ministers (training and ongoing support to enable parishes to employ).

Likewise!

We've been on our travels as our youngest auditions for musical theatre courses - Leeds Saturday just gone, Liverpool on Friday . . . it's a lot!

Paul wrestled with this in both Romans and 1 Corinthians, 'who can know the mind of God?' which chimes with the idea that God is unknowable, a mystery beyond our understanding - but then says, 'but we have the mind of Christ.' Through Christ, God is revealed. He has made him known.

Thanks for flagging this! Would love a chat with you at some point about Paraklesis :) Hope you are well!

hello mate, hope you are doing well!

Hello and welcome.

Ha, thanks. You around later this year at NYMW?

oh no, what did I say?

pitting young people against their parents, still see this in youth ministry practice . . . also, youth practitioners being a bit 'sniffy' about kids ministry . . .

oh, the nonsense that still gets spouted!

I am now :)

Oh wow, that's a bit bonkers . . . I'm assuming you have been paid properly though??!
