We've featured the US website '21st Century Faith Formation' in this blog before, and an email today reminded me to look at their journal. We've not featured so much about young adulthood and discipleship for a while, so here is a link to a good practice guide on 'best practice in young adult faith formation', from that site. The guide was produced in 2007 and so focuses on both Generation X and Millennials as young adults - whereas now in 2013 the baton of 'young adulthood' has been passed firmly to Gen Y/Millennials and those of us who are Xers are now having to admit that we're stretching the definition of 'young adulthood' to its limit, in our mid-thirties to late forties...! As a result, there is much good here, but also an implicit challenge to ask how much of the good practice in young adult faith formation built up over the last 10-15 years requires continuous updating in the light of a changed cultural context and in particular the developing life experiences and identities of those born between the early 1980s and late 1990s. If you're part of Generation Y, what would you add or change from what's here?
