With all due respect, most youth only (excluding here completely intergenerational trips) mission trips are a complete joke in terms of the actual work done. They are good at broadening kids' horizons a bit and getting them out of their parents' hair, but you Adam, as a former youth minister, should know that the logistics involved in such trips are such that to have youth volunteers would actually be more of a detriment to the work of the GA than a blessing. - Dennis Coles Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:18:47 +0100 http://www.pres-outlook.org/insights-opinions/blog/Youth-from-Atlanta-Disappointed-with-Assembly-Vote.html#comment-4022 Unfortunately I missed that part of the discussion in committee meetings. However, I am told by another reporter that the insurance liabilities ect would be a huge nuissance. The main problem is that all of the youth would need chaperones. Also I think there are potential sexual harrasement issues and maybe health/permission forms would be neccesary. The resource person [i][/i]did[i][/i] say it would be managable though. I am not entirely sure how accurate this all is and how the discussion played out. However, after watching the committee all week I trust their decision making process. Hope this helps a little... - Charis Kotfila Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:09:21 +0100 http://www.pres-outlook.org/insights-opinions/blog/Youth-from-Atlanta-Disappointed-with-Assembly-Vote.html#comment-4021 i'd like to know more of the back story on that too - let us know what you find out. - Kerri Peterson-Davis Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:03:57 +0100
