2. An exploration of how human develpment research and theory informs youth ministry at three levels. We explore how this theory provides guidance for running good programmes that both catch the young person's attendtion and encourages them to invite their friends along. Secondly it helps us know that what we do is of importance particulalry in helping young people answer the big questions, "Who am I?" Thirdly this theory and research invites us to have a much bigger appreciation of what ministry among young people might involve.
3. The case for taking faith development theory very seriously, and placing it at the centre of any developmental approach to counselling, and in spiritual direction. Faith Development will be described using Fowler (1981), 1996) and Parks (2000) and is used to help describe problematic faith development. I go on to discuss how faith development theory both differs from spiritual development approach, and how it helps counsellors and spiritual directors to assist those we work with through difficult trainsistions in their "faithing".
4. An exploration of how the theology and spirituality of Dame Julian of Norwich helps Spiritual Drectors in our work.
