Description
Summary:Is Youth Ministry involved in the creation of new theology? This article assesses the potential of engaging in a 'living theology' by listening to and liaising with the spiritual insights of young people. The conditions for such a theology are created by three movements towards young people. Initially, by noticing and respecting their voices, secondly through crafting space within our theorising for young people's insight to shape theological understanding and thirdly by embracing the lives of young people as a site for connection with God and the construction of theology.
