As a youth worker who's preaching in "grown-up" church more and more regularly, I'm struck by just how much my training and experience of teaching young people informs the way I approach teaching adults.<BR/><BR/>It seems daft to me that we readily acknowledge that young people need a variety of stimuli in order to engage, when many adults would probably value a similar approach. I'm fortunate enough to be working in a context in which the church membership is genuinely open to exploring different ways of engaging with God on a Sunday morning - so this week we'll be having a short talky bit about the events on the Emmaus road followed by two or three "stations" at which the congregation can reflect on the ideas of journey, story and encounter. I guess that's the benefit of a congregation of 30-40 - there's no problem with moving them around the building!! <BR/><BR/>If past experience is anything to go by, it should work OK...!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903249646459106695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9901815.post-1113376742346141762005-04-13T08:19:00.000+01:002005-04-13T08:19:00.000+01:00I hear Gerard was really good.

Gerard Kelly (author of the Study Guide) did a storming job of the Main Bible Readings. You can find the notes under April 1.<BR/><BR/>Re "how we make moral and ethical decisions", these 2 links may be helpful re George Barna's book "Think Like Jesus".
