Churches Should Adopt Schools? (Via YM Today)
By Jeremy | August 30, 2010
While away, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Youth Ministries Today revived an article I wrote for National Network of Youth Ministries in 2008, before the launch of 20/20 Vision for Schools.
Why Churches Should Adopt Public Schools
Sometimes a good idea takes a while to generate traction. But then a combination of timing, people, and Providence inspire enough hearts and minds to action that it transforms society, in what Malcolm Gladwell calls a “Tipping Point.”
Consider, for example, the idea that churches should love youth in their communities by adopting public schools. The Campus Alliance has been saying this for years, even creating a website to help promote the idea and track its progress (www.EverySchool.com). But a review of the EverySchool database suggests that the cry has fallen on many ears that are unable, or unwilling, to hear. Many schools still wait to be adopted.
Recently, things began to change in NewYork City.
