Sharing a passion for youth
08/30/2006
By Christie M. Wills
When Beth Crow became diocesan youth coordinator in 2000, she inherited a youth program that occasionally showed signs of liveliness but largely consisted of just two events: Youth at Council and the Bradford Exchange program.
Previous youth coordinators had helped create the Youth Ministries Team in 1998 as a joint youth and adult leadership group for diocesan activities but it had attracted only 10-15 participants.
Since Crow started working with the diocese, the once anemic youth program has blossomed into a vigorous network of youth and adults holding regular events.

"Of Synods and Statements..." A great joy in ecumenical work is the invitation to attend other denominations' annual meetings. You might call me an "annual council groupie."
