Blogs and other websites that contain useful resources and links
www.youthblog.org one of the original blogs about youthwork and ministry from the youth adviser in Oxford. Why do something similar when you can get the original. That’s my view, anyway!
http://dopcandy.portsmouth.anglican.org/ contains a wealth of resources for use in sessions, thoughtful articles etc – more sessional resource focused than youthblog. This is from the youth adviser in Portsmouth. Again why repeat something this good?
http://www.rethinkingyouthministry.com/ an American site that is a bit more theologically focused, with a mixture of thought provoking articles and some other links.
