Community, Bill Mathis – Video and Discussion Outline
The Rev. Bill Mathis talks about the importance of community for youth.
Questions for Discussion:
How is ubuntu manifested in our community today, and what does it mean for the mental health of our young people?
How do we see individualism and community being at odds in our culture? In our church?
How does our youth ministry program allow our youth to be the best that they can be, and what does that mean for the whole church?
What can ubuntu teach us about violence and crime, and about judgment?
What might it be like to not have boots, let alone bootstraps, in a culture of rampant individualism? What might that mean for our individual and collective mental health, and what would Jesus have to say about this?
