How can responsibility for youth ministry be returned to local congregations? In Practicing Discernment with Youth, White uses historical discernment practices in Christian communities, such as Ignatian contemplative practices, Quaker clearness counsels, consensus decision making, and silence. Biblical reflection that emerged from the Protestant Reformation and social analysis of Latin American base communities are also used. The book is divided into two parts. In Part One, a theologically based youth program is described. In Part Two, a practical program is splayed out so that local youth ministers can engaged groups in reflection and discussion.
