Chris Curtis from LCET was addressing us this afternoon at the Diocesan Youth Officer's Conference in Wakefield.
He started his session with a question, almost to himself - are we DYO (or DYA's as I am!) completely mad or suitably heroic?? I sometimes wonder!
He went on to reflect that the Church (of England) needs us, in 3 ways from his perspective:
To be:
Perception Changers, Dream Casters and Hope Chasers.
I'm going to write up his notes more fully when I go home, but for now, I leave you with a quote from a poem Chris shared, written by 12 year old Rose.
God is....in the midnight shadow that might have been there if the cloud only moved.
(wow)
He was awesome and the art and words from the young people truly inspiring. Good to see you too :o)
