Why faith-based youth work offers a solution to the London Riots
Youthwork Magazine editor, Martin Saunders, wrote this piece in the Guardian looking at the London Riots from the perspective of a Christian youth worker:
Faith-based youth work has something special, something inherently different to offer them, because it offers something distinctive: transformation. And we in the faith community must not be ashamed of where that transformation comes from: an engagement with young people’s yearning sense of spirituality – something which promises rewards even greater than financial gain.
Sheldon Thomas from Target Against Gangs and former gang member Gavin McKenna talking about the deeper issues surrounding the recent riots in London and around the country.
