Young, Christian and unashamed

On November 12, 1,200 young people aged 14-18 and their leaders descended on central London. Not to watch the Lord Mayor’s show. Nor to take part in any of the current protests in the capital. But to head to Westminster Chapel to learn about Jesus Christ at the one-day event ‘Sorted’.

This annual feature of the youth work calendar, dedicated to encouraging and supporting Bible-centred youth work throughout London and beyond, has now been running for over ten years. Shortly after this year’s event, Helen Thorne caught up with chair of the planning team, Nathan Howard to find out for EN what went on and why events like Sorted are so important.

HT: Sorted seems to defy all the stereotypes people have about teenage Christian gatherings. It is full of Bible teaching and packed to the rafters! What's going on?
