Monthly column for youth leaders
The next time you hear someone say that young people are the church of tomorrow, jab them in the ribs. Very hard. Twice. If there are young people in your church at the moment, they are the church of today. They might be the leaders of the church of tomorrow, but right now, they are the church of today.
Jo Horn
After all, if they are Christians, they are part of God's family, now. God doesn't give them hoops to jump through. They don't have to wait until they are 18, or 21, or have got married and had children, or been baptised, or confirmed, or have been to church a certain number of Sundays-on the trot.
