The UMC and young adults

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately reading about, studying and interviewing young adults about their perspectives on the church.  I’m hoping to blog more about this and what I’m discovering from the personal interviews.  In the meantime, I stumbled across this great blog, written by a United Methodist College student.  Her words are consistent with a lot of the college students I’ve spoken with.

Check it out:

It’s interesting that she uses the language of the church being like a “club.”  Elaine Heath uses the same language to describe the UMC in her recent book Longing for Spring.  I want to think about this and write about it soon.
