World View on Young Cry

Young means 15-25s old. These youngs are post modern children whether they live in developing or post develope country. Their cry into the face of church in twenty first century margins was that of young culture and their psycho-social narratives.

Christian churches are blindly claim that young peoples are far away from church and their attitutes and mindset was unconstructive. In fact, their Spirituality was not constructive in the way of church was doing. Young peoples, their sense of life means as the interactive with the aray of stimulise and driven by images such as films, musics, videos, music dance and communication and technologies rather than having a sense of life in the frame of church structure culture.

Their sense of life is to be 'happy' as happy midi narrative. This narrative live out with me, mine, friends and family rather then a sense of community or church or society. This is life issue focusing on own affairs. They are deeply feeling empatatic sensitive ethical human beings. But they live their narrative out midi scales. This is not about structure and justice, not about polictics and religion. It was 'post christians' character (post christians means they are not a christian)but aword that was calling Jesus, oh God comeup from their mouth in every minutes. That was predicted as Jesus said 'you will not see me even you call my name'.

The purpose of life is me to be happy. How I become happy is by being, truth my self, being in relationship, authentic relationship and having the support and unconditional support family and my friend. It is invisible base line support but it was deep sense of life for them.

Believe is not about unseen rather your friend and family to be there for you. Their worry is not about future life but about present being inperson such as depression, unpopular, loneliness and unattractive. They are not worry about what will happen life after dead. But not friends, not popular and loneliness is their self-image in the popular arts.

Religious organizations and church leaders do not aware about what happening on youngs culture. Church is running as a structure, as a culture, as a denomination group but now church is become empty and religious leaders are facing with empty arms. What shall we do next. Do we need to change from the way church was doing in the past? or what methodology and psycho social narrative will fit and fix the word of God with them in present culture forms.

Church leaders are need to make them disciple through Relationship, authentic relationship, friendship, caring, mentoring and soul frienship emerge with missional approach in twenty first century. Listen to them, live with them, recognise them and value them then call them out and interpret the word of God that would work through their lives.

It is not an essay way of practice for church leaders. To set out new ways to interpret and reflect a sense of theological function on Jesus' love your neighbouhood. Who are your neighbour? Study a good smaritan. Keep going.
