Yoblog - Musings of a Church Youth Officer


How things have changed

I sat on a different chair in my office yesterday for a meeting and this new outlook on life (and the surrounding bookshelves), caused me to find this book Christian Youth Work lurking in amongst other dusty titles.

It is 21 years old and I found myself giggling at the elasticated waists, perms and big glasses on the cover.  Things date so quickly and this image is what lots of youth workers would want to run a mile from these days.  But the content of the book, as I found out on the train home, is still very relevant. 

Fashion changes, but the desire to share our faith with the younger generation remains. We still don’t have the answers as to how best to do this, but at least we are trying!

Hmm - I’ve seen youth workers looking like that disturbingly recently. Fashions might change, but some folk didn’t get the message!

Now Andrew, I hope you are not making any reference to me there?!
I did aspire to the perm and alice band brigade when I was about 11, but was never trendy enough to fulfil the fantasy.
