Difficult questions, meant to foster self-exploration and self-evaluation within the community, include \u003ci\u003eAre we discriminating against youth? \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eDo youth feel empowered in our church?\u003c\/i\u003e Congregations and church leaders are encouraged to take a look at the effort they make to engage teens in terms of budget, space, and programs and to implement methods for increasing this effort and increasing teen involvement. This analysis of religious communities also illustrates models of churches that are utilizing teens in leadership positions and uses these models to propose and advocate a whole new paradigm for the role of youth in the church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jawanza Kunjufu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1934155497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934155493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e African American Images\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.59w x 0.33d","brand":"Jawanza Kunjufu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069201051903,"sku":"9781934155493","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2263c805-ee87-46f4-b634-88ce3a66a775.jpg?v=1685423384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-the-role-of-jawanza-kunjufu-9781934155493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
