IT is an encouraging sign to have several hundred young people attend a weekend conference on faith (page 1).
It is even more encouraging that they were so enthusiastic about expressing their faith and joining in worship.
Following on from the Australian Catholioc Bishops Conference’s Social Justice Sunday Statement – “And You Will Be My Witnesses: Young people and justice” – such events a good sign of momentum.
The “i-witness: young people and justice” social justice youth festival in Brisbane next Sunday (page 5) may not be on the same scale as Ignite09 conference but the level of commitment of the young people there is likely to be just as strong and their experience just as enriching.
