Strange Bedfellows: A partial works cited from my Theological Foundation Statement for Ministry with Youth
February 10, 2011 · 15 comments
As part of my course work at Luther Seminary in the Children, Youth, and Family Ministry program, I was required to write a “Theological Foundation Statement for Ministry with Youth”. The process of writing the paper provided the chance for me to codify many of the thoughts that have been rumbling around in my head for the last few years (years!).
Anyway, I realized that the authors and works cited in the paper is, well, interesting. These are some strange bedfellows, to be sure. Peruse the list and draw your own conclusions.
