Ministry Among Students: A Pastoral Theology and Handbook for Practice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781853115820)

This book will fill an immediate and obvious gap. The numbers of students in higher education are increasing rapidly and collectively they form a vast, fragmented and transitory society-diverse, hedonistic, largely anti-church, yet open to exploring life meaning. The opportunities for ministry are unlimited and this very practical resource aims to equip everyone ministering among this age group. It begins with an illuminating analysis of student culture and then offers practical guidance on worship, prayer, and mission among students, the ministry of welcome and hospitality, pastoral care and spiritual development, prophetic engagement with current issues, working effectively with interfaith colleagues and, the care of college staff as well as students. An all-round and essential resource.
