Religion in European Adolescent Culture: A Calling to the Church

What do European teenagers think about religion? How important is it? What do they think about God? How do they practice their faith?

Looking at research from Norway and beyond, this session considers how the church is called to be concerned with youth outside our churches and discusses practical principles for mission-focused youth ministry.
