Chapter 7 discusses youth ministry and emphasizes that it should be synodal in nature, involving young people in decision making. The main goals of youth ministry are outreach to attract young people and help them grow in their faith. Suitable environments for ministry include parishes, schools, and youth centers that are welcoming communities. Areas in need of development include spiritual formation like Adoration, opportunities for prayer and discussion, music, sports, time in nature, and service. Youth ministry should be "popular" in nature and welcoming to all young people at every point in their faith journey. Adults should accompany young people with trust in the Holy Spirit.
The document provides a summary of key points from a letter by the Union of Superiors Generals regarding the Synod on the New Evangelization:
1. The letter praises the Instrumentum Laboris' focus on Jesus but calls for a renewed awareness of Vatican II's evangelizing vision.

Giving Honor: A Key to Fruitful Cross-Cultural Partnerships, by Werner Mischk...Werner Mischke
This workshop presentation was given at the 2018 Missio Nexus annual leadership conference. It takes a problem/solution approach:
PROBLEM: A) Rivalry in the New Testament World: Honor competition and rivalry was a major part of the culture of the New Testament world. B) Rivalry today: What does rivalry and honor competition look like in networks or cross-cultural partnerships today?
SOLUTION: A) Being like Jesus—giving honor: Jesus and Paul teach that serving and giving honor undermine rivalry and honor competition. B) Giving honor—today: What does “giving honor” look like in networks or cross-cultural partnerships today? It looks like empathic listening.
The document discusses the mission and vision of a Sunday school class called Pathways. It aims to (1) enhance relationships with God and follow Jesus' teachings, (2) better support the church's mission, and (3) serve class members' needs. The class wants to grow in faith, promote Christian principles, and appeal to a diverse range of ages using technology. It emphasizes being non-rigid and applicable to daily life.
Giving Honor: A Key to Fruitful Cross-Cultural PartnershipsWerner Mischke
This presentation by Werner Mischke was given as a webinar with visionSynergy on 16 November 2017. Werner brings to the surface the problem of honor competition, rivalry, and honor status in the New Testament church. He considers how this applies to global Christian mission. He proposes as a solution: the Spirit-empowered solution of “giving honor” (Rom 12:10; 1 Cor 12:21–26) across cultures and across different levels of social status. The material explores various ways that “giving honor” can help make our own networks or partnerships more healthy relationally—and more fruitful for the gospel. A strong emphasis is given to the practice of empathic listening—“listening with your heart”.

TEACH WITH A PURPOSE: A Series of Seminars for Teachers of Catholic Schools
Presented by Mann Rentoy (Online)
mannrentoy@gmail.com
The Emerging Church and The One Project? is a series of PowerPoint presentations asking the question if there is in fact a connection between the two. The purpose of the presentations are not to lambast those who want to lift Jesus up, but rather to allow leaders of the One Project to tell us in their own words (and the words of those promoting the project) what their goals and aspirations really are, and how these goals have been enacted in their past experiences.
Presentation 1 of 10 is a summary of the Emerging Church as defined on Wikipedia. This is a summary of the 17 page article found there which is taken from many leading proponents of the Emerging Church here in America.
Presentations 2 through 4 deal with Leonard Sweet, a leader in the Emerging Church movement and a professor at George Fox University, and many of the nearly 50 books he has authored which express his various viewpoints.
Presentations 5 through 9 deal with the five main leaders of The One Project, four of which graduated with or started DMin degrees from George Fox University under the mentorship of Leonard Sweet. In each presentation an objective look is taken at material in print telling of each leaders work and ministry up to 2012. The question will naturally follow; is this the direction we should be leading our young people in the Adventist Church?
Presentation 10 deals with the One Project gathering in Seattle, February of 2012, looking at the claims of the Project “Jesus. All” and comparing this to what really took place at the gathering. Yes, there was some good points made, and we need to lift Jesus up, but…. We also take a look at a little of the evidence suggesting The One Project is a response to GYC.

This document discusses several key aspects of evangelization and catechesis according to Catholic teaching:
1. Evangelization involves proclaiming Christ and the Gospel through both words and actions to invite conversion, while catechesis involves initiating disciples into full Christian life through teaching doctrine.
2. Evangelization aims to make disciples who then evangelize others, while catechesis helps disciples mature in faith, prayer, virtue and service.
3. The process of evangelization and catechesis involves stages of relationship building, explicit proclamation, and ongoing discipleship formation.
This document is the May 2015 issue of A Campus Magazine, a publication of the University Evangelical Service of India (UESI). It contains several articles on the topic of Christian fellowship. The introductory editorial emphasizes the importance of fellowship among believers and avoiding isolation. It encourages meeting together, sharing, praying and forming small groups. Subsequent articles explore what true fellowship means in sharing burdens and resources. They discuss how UESI aims to have an evangelical fellowship without divisions and how fellowship was practiced among UESI staff in the past. The importance of fellowship in ministry is also highlighted.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced churches to rethink long-held theological views and practices of administration. Churches have shifted to online worship services, creating opportunities to experiment with new forms. The focus has moved from institutionalism to being God's transforming presence in the world. Properly administered, the church can emerge from this crisis with a strengthened missional perspective and calling to reflect God's reign through justice, peace, and love.
A Case Study In Adult Discipleship Implications For Pastoral Leadership And ...Joe Andelija
This document provides a summary of a case study on adult discipleship at an Anglican church in Toronto. The study found that discipleship was understood as a process of following Jesus in community, guided by the church's Discipleship Covenant. Discipleship was seen as something that takes time and occurs over a lifetime, rather than a destination that is reached. The church emphasized becoming disciples through involvement in worship, prayer, study, and sharing one's faith, both individually and together as a community.
The document discusses adolescent faith formation and discipleship. It addresses concerns about declining religious education for youth and calls for a renewed focus on empowering young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. The core of catechesis should be relationship with Christ through understanding who he is and following him more closely. Catechists play an important role in aiding youths' intellectual understanding and living out faith through witness and accompaniment.
This document summarizes Chapter 3, Section I of Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium. It discusses how the entire people of God proclaims the Gospel through:

- People need to be educated towards a lifestyle that is not based around excessive consumerism and the pursuit of material goods.
- Environmental education should promote critiques of modern paradigms like unlimited economic growth and teach sustainable practices.
- An ecological conversion is needed where the effects of encountering Jesus are seen in how people relate to the natural world.
- Cultivating virtues like gratitude, generosity and care for others and the environment are part of this spiritual transformation.
- Living simply, enjoying nature, and finding fulfillment in community are presented as alternatives

research, knowledge and sharing” CV 223

without expecting to immediately see the fruits of the work of the Holy Spirit. CV 246

social situations.

inclinations, gifts and charisms that are not for you,
but to share with those around you. CV 286

personal vocation,
we have to realize
that it is a calling
from a friend,
who is Jesus.

in his company and in that of others. - CV 289

without being offended or shocked, tired or bored.- CV 292
93. 2º sensitivity – discernment
It takes courage, warmth and tact to help others
distinguish the truth from illusions or excuses. - CV 293
94. 3º sensitivity –

they look not to their
own superficial wishes
and desires, but rather to
what is most pleasing
to the Lord,
to his plans for their life.
And that is seen
in a deeper inclination
of the heart,
beyond the surface level
of their likes and feelings.
CV 294

something so personal that only God knows it. - CV 295
96. When we listen to others in this way,
at a certain moment we ourselves have to disappear
in order to let the other person follow the path
he or she has discovered. - CV 296
97. we need to encourage and accompany processes,
without imposing our own roadmaps. . CV 297
98. You must follow your
path as Mary did,
in her own youth,
as she confronted her
own questions
and difficulties.
May she renew your
youthfulness by the
power of her prayers
and accompany you
always by her
maternal presence.
CV 298
