Why shouldn't young peo­ ple like me be pouring their creativity and energy into building an exciting church where faith and life are shared with equal parts joy, humor, and seriousness. I think we don't because somewhere along the line we became convinced that to do so one must possess the right answers to the right questions. And since we haven't come across too many of those answers lately, we've just politely excused ourselves from the conversation. That's a bunch of gobbledygook.

I'm not saving I have 10:00 a.m. any more answers to life's major questions than I did when I started this crnzv adventure, but I have learned that doing ministry is as good a place as any to start.
