When the Sunday School pioneers saw a need in their communities in
the late eighteenth century, their response provoked a 200 year
movement. These early Sunday Schools met a clear social need: that
for basic education. By the 1960s, they faced rapid decline - a
rigid institution amidst societal change. Over recent decades,
Christian youth work has emerged as a response to further youth
decline within churches. Many youth workers engage with young
people's self-perceived needs by delivering open-access youth
provision in their local communities alongside more specifically
Christian activities. Tensions emerge over whether the youth
worker's role is to serve community or church needs, with churches
often emphasising the desire to see young people in services.
Drawing together historical and contemporary research, Young People
and Church Since 1900 identifies patterns and change in young
people's engagement with organised Christianity across time.
Through this, it provides a unique analysis of the engagement and
exclusion of young people in three key time periods, 1900-1910,
1955-1972, and the present day. Whilst much commentary on religious
decline has focused on changes external to churches, this text
draws out the internal decisions and processes that have affected
the longevity of Christianity in England. This book will be of
interest to researchers and scholars of young people and
Christianity in the twentieth century and today, as well as youth
ministry students and practitioners and those interested in youth
decline in churches more widely.
