imagine moving to a different country, that had no history of youth ministry at all. No 70′s & 80′s versions of youth group that produced a lot of the books that fed youth ministry in the 90′s. no history whatsoever. you’d be starting with a clean slate, and you’d be setting the youth ministry scene for decades to come.

how would you do things? what ‘cultural baggage’ (e.g., “there must be games and they must be fun”) from Australian youth ministry would you let go of? what are the positives from australian youth ministry that you’d be keen to translate into this different culture?
