Youth
are critical factor in future of the church
By REV. JOHN HATCHER
Religion Columnist
It's so
easy to overlook the historical fact that Christianity started out as
a youthful movement. According to available information, the chief executive
officer of the movement was no older than 29 or 30 when he began to recruit.
Those he recruited, in all likelihood, were in their late teens or early
twenties. In fact, Jesus nicknamed two of his followers, James and John,
the Sons of Thunder. I suppose they were full of lightening and thunder
that zestful youthfulness.
