New Crumbs Publication - Culture Yeah Right

The new Crumbs Publication is out. And it is great!

Culture Yeah Right, is a collection of essays written by the speakers at the Big E Youth Workers Training Event held in November 2004. It explores the nature of culture, and how we need to be working to allow our Anglican tradition to engage with the changing features of the cultural context that our young people live in. This book also comes with the DVD’s of the Big E sessions.

It has long been held by some of us who have been involved in youth ministry for a number of years that youth ministry practitioners in this country have a lot of experience and wisdom to offer both here in Aotearoa-New Zealand and the international youth ministry scene. Despite this little has been published from this part of the world, and clergy, youth workers and youth leaders in Aotearoa-New Zealand continue to look overseas for resources for doing youth ministry.

Over the last few years the Churches Youth Ministry Association has been working to get Youth Ministry practitioners in Aotearoa-New Zealand published. We now have four books published. The first was on Models of Youth Ministry, and the second on Short Term Mission Trips. The third was based on Rev. Michael Hughes thesis examining youth ministry in the Anglican Church in Aotearoa-New Zealand: tikanga Pakeha from the perspective of Liberation Theology
Ministry to those under 40 is increasingly seen as a priority for all parts of our church. You play a significant role in raising the profile of this ministry and enhancing its practice in our church. I hope this book will help you in your resourcing of this ministry.
