In the great tradition of tabloid journalism, I thought I’d put a provocative title to this blog to catch people’s attention.
In truth, I’m actually thrilled to say that Graham Stanton has agreed to join the team of resident bloggers at sydneyanglicans.net.
Graham and I will share the Tuesday slot, with some guest writers from time to time, as we seek to keep raising the profile of youth and children’s ministry in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, and to work at strengthening all of us involved in this vital work.
Graham’s first piece is lots of fun, with some interesting observations and comments about the nature of blogging and bloggers.

I experienced one of the greatest blessings of my youth ministry last week, twenty years after I started leading my first youth Bible study.
Read my latest Sydney Anglicans article at http://www.sydneyanglicans.net/ministry/modernministry/the_surprise_blessings_of_ministry/ to find out why Jesus was so right when he said that it is more blessed to give than receive.
As the disciples were joined by Jesus after his resurrection, they waited impatiently for the coming of the Kingdom of God.
As they waited, they asked a question that showed they didn’t really understand what the Kingdom of God was to be like.
Jesus gently corrects them, and in turn us, about just where the Kingdom is, what people will be in that kingdom, and when it will come.

As I spoke on Luke 23, I realised afresh the enormous injustice of the sentencing of Jesus to death.
It was clear that Pontius Pilate was convinced of the innocence of Jesus, and yet he willingly sent him to be crucified.
