I appreciate that this article grew out of a more narrowly written earlier piece (' Youth Ministry (Evangelical)' that might still be better titled 'Youth Ministry (American Evangelical)'), but I wonder if the parameters have now been set a little too wide? The term 'Ministry' in the sense of a ' religious ministry' is generally specific to christianity (although I appreciate Unitarian Universalists also use the term and bow to HellaNorCal's superior knowledge). But does Judaism and Islam use the term? I appreciate that they do engage in the equivelent of youth ministry (and that whatever they do is worthy of an article), but I question whether they give it that name... which might explain why nobody has yet felt the urge to filling those sections of the article. Any thoughts? Ray Ellis 23:20, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Added POV template, this article is full of issues. What sticks out most to me are "Christian Youth Ministry is usually geared toward bringing students together, telling them about Jesus Christ, and encouraging them to accept him as their personal Lord and Savior." and "...there are several ongoing programs for youth to discover, learn and enjoy their faith."
That section giving each faith group (Christianity, Unitarian Universalism) a section to itself is still annoying me. Partly because the sections are so piddly and small and secondly because there are other ways of analysing the subject (by nation, by objectives, etc). So I would suggest a section called "Youth ministry by faith group", with "Christianity", "Unitarian Universalism" and possibly "Other faiths" dropped down to sub-heading status. That would drop "Protestant" and "Catholic" down to sub-sub-heading status. Any thoughts / objections? Ray Ellis ( talk) 17:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
I took this section out, as it seems to be both too vague and too specific to be suitable for the article. Feel free to revert, if you disagree, then start a discussion and we can see. Cheers, Lindsay Hi 19:47, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Here ends the removed section Cheers, Lindsay Hi 19:47, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
