Cause Of Mass De-Christianisation - Youths and Parents Accuse Each Other!
The elders and the youths accuse each other over the problems of society among which there is inactive participation of the youths in the affairs of the society. As a result, the youths opt out or migrate to other places.
Scholars at times refer to that as rural to urban migration. The concept can be integrated in a religious perspective.
At this stage of life, many youths also tend to migrate from their mother churches to other churches of their interest or to non-Christian religions or else becoming irreligious completely. This leads to the concept of de-Christianisation. The word de-Christianisation can have different meanings: It could mean those people who were Christians and left to belong to other religions which are non Christian.
However, De-Christianisation is commonly used to refer to those people who leave their mother churches to other religions.
In this book, youths have shown very many factors that have led them to that. However, if the religions where they run to also do as the "mother churches", after sometime, and may be soon, the same youths may run back to their mother churches if they cannot discover any difference. Therefore this book is vital for all (those from where youths run and those religions where youths go).
The writer hence intends to find out where actually the problem is and any possible remedies.
Youths, it is alleged, challenge the Church to be more humane, personal and intimate, championing justice, respecting conscience and personality and providing fellowship and community.
Youth is perceived as the phase of life where there is teeming energy from an individual with a great motivation to discovery and experimentation. It is surely a step away from Childhood, but a journey towards maturity.
Their proper identity can be captured in the following description:
Y = Yearning (looking ahead with great desire for great things)
O = Outreaching (filled with a passion for discovery and accomplishment)
U = Under Pressure (struggling to match personal goals and societal expectations)
T = Transitional (Youth is a passing moment and has to be captured when it lasts)
H = Hopeful (it is in the spirit of the youth to look to the future with hope)
There ought to be a Convergence between the Christian Message and the Rising Generation. Christian message gives what appeals to the idealism of youths but the youths need to search and discover it for themselves.
Idealism inspires young people to look for authenticity, responsible choice, justice and love and also to build a better world. Further more it calls upon the youths to find in the Word of God the liberation they desire, political, social, economic as well as spiritual and also to uphold the dignity of the person
Moreover, the gospel message of community and love converges with the desire of youth to be loved, to have meaningful relationships and to belong to a group.
