• Corrupt commerce
• Inhuman punishment – 160 capital offences
• Prisons – hell on earth
• Children - mortality was about 74%
• Alcohol – in 1751 11 million gallons of gin
• Gambling – huge sums bet and lost
• Cruel sports - commonplace cruelty
What is Youth Ministry?
WHAT HAPPENED?
John Wesley
He preached 42,000 sermons, set up free
pharmacies, schools, pleaded for tolerance,
freedom, social justice. He rode up and down
the country preaching any where he could
get a hearing. He left 150,000 followers
drawn into self organised groups.
He taught God loved the poorest, meanest,
most impoverished. The last, the lost and
least. He and his followers brought a moral
revolution through personal spiritual
transformation
What is Youth Ministry?
TRANSACTIONAL TO
TRANSFORMATIONAL
• Religion as transactions is about gaining some
kind of satisfaction from enacting or
participating in religious ceremonies.
• Religion as transformation is consciously
looking for profound changes, for discernible
growth, for the unexpected.
What is Youth Ministry?
Sunday School Movement – 1780’s
• Pioneers: Robert Raikes and Hannah More
• Responded to the need around them and their
Christian conviction
• Informal ways of working: Day trips / sports teams
• Some schemes flowed from very conservative views,
others sought radical social change. As a result, there
were some tensions and conflicts between different
groupings.

What is Youth Ministry?
The Youth Club...
• Rev Arthur Sweatman – 1850’s
• 1875 – Anglican Girls Friendly Society –
purpose was to ‘unite girls and women in a
fellowship of prayer, service and purity of life,
for the glory of God’.
• 1885 – 821 branches in England and Wales
What is Youth Ministry?​
Uniformed Organisations –
Boys Brigade
Set up by William Smith, starting in Glasgow. He
wrote:
• ‘By associating Christianity with all that was
most noble and manly in a boy’s sight, we would
be going a long way to disabuse his mind of the
idea that there is anything effeminate or weak
about Christianity’.
• Around 800 groups by the end of the 19th
century
What is Youth Ministry?​
Scouting...
• The emphasis on drill,
evangelicalism and
regimentation in the Boys'
Brigade worried a number of
commentators, inc. Robert
Baden-Powell
• Concerned about both physical
and mental well-being of young
people.
What is Youth Ministry?​
Kerry Young 2006
What is Youth Ministry?​
Questions
• Is our youth work in response to the needs
around us, our Christian faith or both? Why?
• Are there conflicts / tensions within our
churches concerning the focus and delivery of
our youth work? If so, what are they?
What is Youth Ministry​
World Wars
• Following 1st World War, stuttering towards
state funded youth work
• Onset of the 2nd World War saw the start of a
organised response to issues arising with and
for young people.
• ‘Open’ youth clubs and ‘detached’ youth work.
What is Youth Ministry​
Albemarle Report – 1960
• Heralded the heyday of the large youth club or
youth centre
• Declared that the primary aim of the youth
service should be association, training and
challenge.
What is Youth Ministry​
Youth work provision decline
• 1980’s onwards – number of young people in
youth centres started to slowly decline
• Growing competition from entertainment at
home and other leisure activities
What is Youth Ministry​
Growing after-school provision
• More and more schools offering breakfast
clubs and after-school clubs
• Connexions Service
• School – exams – more pressure
What is Youth Ministry​
• Christian specific youth work degrees
• Rapid rise of paid Church based youth workers
• Evidence that this has slowed the number of
young people leaving Church, but not
reversed it yet
Professionalised Christian Youth Work
What is Youth Ministry​
• Local Authorities cut expenditure on youth services
by more than 750million between 2011 & 2017
• Rise of NCS
• Less full time paid Church youth work posts
• Focus returning to the Lay Workers
• Aurora developed in response to this context

Good Childhood Report
https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/good-childhood-report
Appearance
• 75% said they cared what people think
about the way they look, trying to match up
to the ideals that are placed on them.
• Nearly three quarters of 17 to 24 year-olds
(72%) often worry about the way they look,
compared to less than three fifths of those
aged 11 to 16 (59%).
• These worries go beyond the narrow
concerns of shape and size that are
traditionally presented. Instead, for the
majority of young people, an importance is
placed on the wider

Editor's Notes

  1. Put in more detail
  2. Youth work is quite a fluid things because we as youth workers define, interpret and develop it. It isn’t formed out of a vacuum; it is developed in a given context and practice.
  3. Is our youth work a response to the social and spiritual needs that we encounter? Or is it a response to what is expected of us? Those conflicts / tensions still exist today as well – e.g. Caron & Sonia (YMCA) – very different understandings of what youth work is and very different contexts of youth work practice. Is there conflicts / tensions within our youth work teams or within our Churches? If so, who are those conflicts / tensions between and why do you think they’re there?
