FACING THE FUTURE
Ecumenical Youth Encounter
|
|
 |
|
Through an intensive series of encounters, participants come to see themselves and their cultures from new perspectives. Returning home, they embark on local ministry projects with a sense of belonging to one, worldwide Christian movement.
This video follows the diverse youth leaders as they engage in Bible study, worship, dance and song, role-playing exercises and acts of fellowship, as well as frank exchanges on such topics as economic globalization, relations between women and men, challenges presented by HIV/AIDS, and other issues concerning faith and practice.

Their experience provides a wealth of possibilities for further discussion. The philosophy behind this multicultural interaction is summed up by one youth: "Tell me about it, and I'll forget.
Show me, and I'll remember.
Involve me, and I'll understand." |
