Lack of faith/ belief? Who and what are at fault for failing youth?
Young people have intelligence in ways more informed today than many church elders. Youth can tolerate imposition on their intelligence only to a point. Faith, hope and love are about experience of authenticity, which supposes a faith-basis that is consistent with informed intelligence. Literal belief in biblical stories stretch credibility. Church needs a lot of self-correction before it can expect youth to take it seriously again.
