Description
This book published by Holy Cross Orthodox Press shares with readers how to reach young adults in the Orthodox parish and community, help them identify their talents, and grow together in relationship with them for a stronger faith community. Using research from the Telos Project, which studied 12 parishes across the country from different Orthodox jurisdictions, authors Ann Mitakos Bezzerides and Jenny Haddad Mosher identify how to reach and truly see young adults in your parish and learn how to engage with them so that they, too, feel valued and a part of the parish. The book speaks to the roles that young adults, parishioners, priests, and parish leadership each have to play in their parish and in relation to each other and how to inspire relationships to foster a vital and vibrant parish life.Features
