Curated Bibliographies

Years into a pandemic, with grief and strife seemingly around every corner, many young people are bewildered, and most youth workers are burned out. Before we rush to solutions or carry on with business as usual, the 2023 Princeton Forum on Youth Ministry is creating space for those who minister with young people to gather, connect, rest, and dream. Together, we will cultivate the necessary ground for telling the truth, practicing grace, and facilitating healing among and within ourselves and our communities. Join us online or on campus for lectures, worship, seminars, and more, as we declare that now is “a time to heal.”
