It’s funny when you investigate a new blog, you always end up semi-stalking them and posting comments on lots of posts. Or at least I do.
I’ve just been reading Boy in the Bands. He’s an American who’s recently been posting about our British Unitarian growth plans.
I think it started with Helping the British Unitarians and Free Christians. But there’s also:
One suggestion from a commentor, is that we could do some campus ministry. And send some 18-21 years olds to the States to learn how to lead it.
I don’t know what I think of this idea. Certainly we do send people to the States to learn from their ideas (Buyan comes from Opus, Summer School comes from Star Island) so that’s not a problem.
I think there would be some backlash in some quarters against an 18 year old taking on a leadership role. But that wouldn’t necessarily rule it out.
No, really I’m just plain not sure whether campus ministry would work over here. You’d need to be very self-starting to pull it off because you would essentially be building a Unitarian community from scratch – it’s unlikely that there would be other Unitarians at the uni who you could tap into.
I wonder whether it could be done or not.
