Got paid theologians, `money for flowers`.

Tens of thousands of young people are caught up in criminal activity other than violence every year. The recent upsurge in knife crime is both terrifying leading to heartbreak.

Lets all pray with all Christians for young people in our towns and City's.

There seems to be an ingrained hierarchy of ministry in most churches. Ministry with adults at the top. This is the ministry to which everyone should aspire and work toward.
Under that comes youth work, 
beneath that working with children.
Bottom of the heap, under-resourced. Like the idea, YOUTH WORK even recognised as important.
but not well liked, nor is it proper thought as ministry. Simple but true fact.
Are many difficult circumstances: Resources and provision is to small with budgets that are insufficient.
HEY HO we got 'paid theologians and money for flowers'. 






This generational reiteration 
of such attitudes merely
perpetuates the issue.

AS I HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE...well not because don`t even know what that means but,  
Organisational culture consists of three levels:
assumptions, which are below the surface, values, and artifacts.

That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach

Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
