17.01.2022 "[Spiritual] accompanying is not just a specific behavioural technique: it is connecting with the young person at a spiritual level. A youth worker who is able to accompany young people is someone who has begun the process of quietening themselves, shifting the energy from their own ego to being available and tuning into the spiritual core of the young person." Green, Maxine. 2015. "Using your spiritual self as a youth work tool." In Youth Work and Faith: Debates, Delights, and Dilemmas, edited by M. Smith, N. Stanton and T. While. Lyme Regis, Dorset: Russell House.

12.01.2022 All the things that youth work claims to do and to be for young people are about the ethics of the situation. Social justice is an ethical requirement. Empowerment is an ethical project. Inclusion is ethically driven. Poverty, homelessness, violence, destructive drug use, dispossession these aren’t technical problems, awaiting the skill and resource to fix them. They are deeply moral issues. To use that most unfashionable of words, their continued existence, and the structures that maintain them, are wrong. The reason that many of us got into youth work, and the reason we stayed, is because of that. Sercombe, H. (2010). Youth Work Ethics. London: SAGE Publications. p. 1

10.01.2022 "What do our current educational structures and economic imperatives say to young people about the value and place of finding one’s soul and place of belonging and responsibility in the larger universe, ecology and human family? Questions such as these have occupied my thinking for many years and driven my research and practice around youth spirituality in the Australian context." - new publication from Dr Phil Daughtry https://csyouthwork.wordpress.com//engaging-youth-spiritu/

08.01.2022 spirituality is experience of the sacred other which is accompanied by feelings of wonder, joy, love, trust and hope. Spirituality enhances connectiveness with the self, with others, and with the world. Spirituality illuminates lived experiences. Spirituality may be expressed in relationship, prayer, personal and community rituals, values, service, action for justice, connection with the earth. Spirituality may be named in new and re-defined ways, or through the beliefs, rituals, symbols, values and stories of religious traditions Engebretson (2007) cited in Daughtry, P. 2010. ‘The benefits of an integrated sacred-secular approach to youth worker training’, In Dowson, M. & Devendish, S. (Eds.), Religion and spirituality (pp. 175-192) Charlotte, North Carolina: Information Age.
