Youth

Digital download: A wide-ranging, rich collection of reflective and liturgical material for youth groups, youth workers and anyone concerned with youth issues. Drawn together from various Wild Goose Publications books.

‘I will pour out my spirit on all flesh ... your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young shall see visions,’ says the Book of Joel, but at the beginning of the 21st century we are living in a time when the voices of young people are being ignored by those in power and their future is being limited.

This download includes the voices of young people themselves. The material is realistic, coming from down-to-earth places, but is full of hope and good humour.

‘Young people’ is the Iona Community’s upcoming area of focus in 2012.
