This is a bit of a follow-up. I talked about the young adult meeting we went to in Baton Rouge in We Are One Body, and my suspicions have been confirmed. That night we had 10-ish people gathered from the whole diocese for what the textbook says young adults want to do: mostly fellowship, with a little prayer thrown in for kicks. This Wednesday, we had 12 or 13 (I don’t remember and don’t have time to count!) young adults from one parish - singles, married couples, college students, career folks, a great mix really – gathered to do - wait for it – service.

We are one Body
We went to a “young adult” gathering in the Baton Rouge diocese last night, and it got me thinking. So I’m really just thinking out loud (as it were) here, most of this isn’t clearly formed yet, but it has been bothering me for a while. The meeting itself was fine, they had a change of plan since the speaker had to cancel, so we had dinner, discussed what we would like to see from the young adult ministry (they’re really just getting started) and then had a brief prayer service. But it was the assumptions underlying the conversation that interested me most.
