The Abbey 20-22 August 2021 - Youth Leadership Training

John Graveston —

The Abbey still has beds free so get in if you wish to attend.

The Abbey is our national Anglican youth ministry conference: a place for all Anglican youth leaders to gather, train and be encouraged. Meet, laugh, worship with and learn from other youth leaders from Anglican churches around NZ who love following Jesus and developing young people (Subsidies available).

Jesus, you break down the walls that divide.

Paul said it in Ephesians 2:14, and it’s written in our prayer book too. Jesus is the wall-breaker. The Church is meant to be a house without walls. We are called to be a structure that shelters, a place that the world can see right into, and a family that can never gather without being aware of a hurting world beyond us. This has never been more true than in our current global moment of Covid-19.

The Abbey 2021 is a conference for youth leaders and young adults. This year we gather to dream together about the incredible potential for renewal offered to us by this unprecedented moment. How do we rebuild our Anglican Church? How do we address the enormous disparities and injustices in Aotearoa? And how do we form our young people to follow Jesus wherever he calls them?
