Description
The Middle Space model is a whole new approach to youth work in which the location becomes a metaphor for the work itself.
It is a profoundly different way of doing youth ministry and is much more than simply utilising the so-called "third spaces" that lie between the Church and the young people it serves.
Seeking to transcend both invitational and detached models of youthwork, this book is the first of its kind in describing and reflecting upon emerging Middle Space models. Its mix of cutting-edge theory and real-life examples will enable anyone working with young people to bring the transformational news of the Gospel to the communities they serve.
A new model of youthwork that invites youth and youth workers into a shared "middle space".
