Church seeks spirituality of youth . . . and doesn't like what it finds - Britain - Times Online

I brought a the times today at work as the have just got the canteen to order news papers which I think is a fantastic idea. I came to this aritical Church seeks spirituality of youth . . . and doesn't like what it finds - Britain - Times Online. As a youth leader in the church I can undestand the paninc that the church may be feeling. I am blessed that the youth that I work with are for the most "chruched" as in that for the most they have been in the chruch all their lives and have a undersatanding of Chruch. however my group is growing to some extent with the freinds that they bring in from school. This is intresting becaues I am having the same talks with the "non Churched youth" as is reported in the article proticaly this girl :-

Sinead Berrigan, 19: “I don’t believe in God and I think, to a certain extent, religions are a waste of time. I don’t like being told how to live by a set of religious rules. I just want to be happy”

We live in a post moden age with a diferent set of rules the church needs to get up to speed.

The Mass

Just got back from the The Mass today. I went with some friends to see what they get up to with a view of taking a group in two weeks to "get out of the church box" and see something new and fresh. The mass is very much that I would say. The worship was chilled and meditative, incense was used in copious amounts and candles were very much in attendance. We had words such as energy and power instead of spirit and physical prayers as well as said. Just the way that I like it! I am looking forward to going in two weeks.

I know that the sun didn't set like this today here in Grantham but it was hot and sunny for a good part of the day to the poin that I have now got a very red sunburnt head.
The nice thing is that it is now raining and still warm and I just love days like that.

I have just spent all day cutting my hedge in the back garden. It was six foot high now there is two foot missing. I Just need to find out where to put the off cuts!
