The Peter Corney Lecture in Youth Ministry 2023

Lessons from Christian Endeavor
“A Training School for the Church”
Christian Endeavour was arguably the largest and most influential worldwide youth movement. Founded in the USA by Francis E Clarke in 1881, the first Australian Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavour was formed in Geelong in 1883.
This lecture examines the origins, strategy, and influence of Christian Endeavour in Australia, and considers the lessons to be learned from this history. How might Clarke’s approach of mutual accountability, high commitment, and every member service still be helpful as we consider our ministry practices and values today?
The Peter Corney Lecture in Youth Ministry is part of the Ridley Public Lecture series.
IASYM Conference:
The Peter Corney Lecture is part of the Australia-New Zealand regional conference of the International Association for the Study of Youth Ministry being held at Ridley College from 2-4 August. For details see https://iasym.org/AUS2023
