Reflections on Decoloniality within Youth Ministry
Reflections on Decoloniality within Youth Ministry
NOV. 9, 2022 • 1 PM - 2:15 PM [EST]
What does it mean for youth ministry to be decolonised? Although not new, the term ‘decolonise’ has become a prominent part of African discourses after the 2015 and 2016 student protests at various university campuses in South Africa. A strong call to decolonise theology and how we do church has been included in these calls. Alongside this movement, the call to decolonise theology and ministry has been heard in other parts of the world. This presentation grapples with what we are indeed calling for when advocating decoloniality in youth ministry. Issues of social capital, context, and indigenous resources will be explored. You will be challenged, stretched, and encouraged to consider how youth ministry in your context can be part of the difficult work of decolonisation.
