Being A Christian Student/Young Worker, Part 2: Demands of the church - Demands of the individual

Following up on the previous post, this is an article written thirty years ago by a minister I had the priviledge of hearing this past week, Geoff Thomas of Alfred Place Baptist Church in Aberystwyth. What he writes should, I think, be a challenge to all of us who worship at Carrubbers - both students and non students. Again, it raises issues of church and CU involvement which I feel are very relevant to our current time and place, and which I'll be posting on soon. Moreover, it has challenged me and perhaps will challenge you. One question, certainly, resounds in my mind - are we praying for our church?

Being A Christian Student/Young Worker, Part 1: Preparation

It's never too late to learn! And it's never too late to start firing up things on the blog again, IMHO at least. This is an article I've recently read on making ourselves 'spiritually prepared' for university, although I'm sure it can be applied to all our immediate situations. Do you think the author is right in what he says? What about the stuff he says regarding the Church and CUs? Or regarding socialising and choosing friends? All I'll say is that I wish I'd read this before my first year at uni.

There will be at least a couple of follow-up posts on topics raised in this article shortly.
