episco*rific and Fitting In

I've recently begun reading a blog put together by another Episcopal church youth group. This blog actually has postings by the youth leaders, with comments from the youth. We're actually planning something very similar for our youth group, to help get information out, and give an easy place for people to comment.

That all being said, they apparently had a discussion on fitting in, and why it is that we don't welcome new visitors into the youth group. This was an especially moving topic for me, because I see our group doing exactly the same thing. We have people who all look somewhat similar, go to the same schools and everything. Then I see some other people in our group standing on the wall, or still more who come to one meeting then never again.

You thoughts are certainly welcome on how we can improve this. But mainly I wanted to share this link

with their discussion topic and some of their own youths ideas.

Peace.
