Making sense of Generation Y : the world view of 15- to 25 year olds

Notes: "[By] Sara Savage, Sylvia Collins-Mayo, Bob Mayo with Graham Cray".; Includes bibliographical references.; "For Generation Y, born after 1980, Margaret Thatcher is a piece of social history, relationships happen over the Internet and music marks their territory. How does this generation think about the world ? What does their spirituality look like ? Given this generation's unprecedented immersion in popular culture, we examined how young people make sense of the world and themselves through the popular arts. The disparity between the world views of young people and the Church is such that few doubt the urgent need for the Church to revive genuine communication with young people. This book represents our efforts to help bridge this gap, based on a two-year research project." -- Preface, p. xi.; Contents: About the authors -- Foreword by the Archbishop of York / John Sentamu -- Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Part One : The World View of Generation Y -- Part Two : A Closer View -- Part Three : Implications for Youth Work and the Wider Church -- Appendix : Thumbnail Sketch of the Main `Eastenders' storylines at the time of interviewing -- Notes -- Bibliography -- General index -- Index of Biblical References.
