		<description><![CDATA[I am a youth worker and youth work trainer, and I regularly write on youth work and youth ministry, so this announcement is probably no surprise. But, given I am a &#8217;5&#8242; on the Enneagram personality scale, I have been doing a silly amount of research about this. But sooner or later it will happen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the little Christian cult that I belong to, we use &#8220;Queries and Advices&#8221; to guide our way. We chose this over a creed for a number of reasons which I&#8217;ll outline below, but lately I&#8217;ve been thinking that I&#8217;d like a little creedalism. We borrowed the idea of &#8216;queries and advices&#8217; from the Quakers, or [...]]]></description>

Snapped up by a motivated bidder, it could be bulldozed for units, rented out or made over and re-sold. This is happening more and more in Long Gully.

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been in plenty of youth ministry prayer times, and have led them myself, where we have prayed passionately for this or that young person, for strength for ourselves, for God to intervene. This is a valid form of prayer. But all too easily it becomes a way of us trying to persuade God to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently working on the bones of a book on Christian youth work. Here is some of my thoughts on the different ways Christians do youth work. I&#8217;d welcome any comments on these, as well as some sexy category names&#8230; The broad category is “Christian work with young people”. Primarily, it has meant: 1) Youth ministry, [...]]]></description>
