Cultural Ministry

Fr. Stephen Freeman has posted an interesting article about ministering to American culture, and includes this important statement about youth ministry:
I have spent plenty of time with youth of both highschool and college years, who have been nurtured in Orthodox life. They’re not anti-music, etc. (indeed I like a lot of contemporary music and appreciate my children sharing it with me), but these same youth know what it is to worship God and when it is time to lay aside “all earthly cares” and offer God praise that is worthy (if any praise can be worthy) and in a spirit that is yielded to God and not something else. Presenting the Gospel to youth in America very much means to draw them beyond the boundaries of their own “niche” and into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.
I recommend the entire article (as I have a number of his articles). I should also note that Fr. Stephen recently started a podcast for Ancient Faith Radio.
