Steve Mallon

Steve Mallon spoke on Youth Strategy and programmes abroad.

Associate secretary of the Mission and Discipleship Council with responsibility for education and nurture, Steve explains the importance of this area of the council's work: "Education and nurture are the key elements that equip the Church for mission. We cannot be a missionary church if our members are not learning, discovering and moving deeper into their knowledge and experience of God.”

“The challenge facing the churches in the UK in working with young people has never been more acute. The old ways and tools no longer work for us. We need youth workers who can stand up and be confident as they engage with young people in a largely post-Christian and post-modern world.”

“Thanks for a great day and for inviting others in the religious community. I hope we can reciprocate someday. I so enjoyed Linda’s presentation and would love to have any information she sends.” (Nancy)

“I must say that for me the day was both inspiring and encouraging. It's reassuring to be told that whatever we do or don't manage to teach the young people we work with, the most important thing is that we be there for them and take an interest in them. I should think that we all came away inspired to do at least that” (Sia)
