Please answer as many of the following questions as possible as a way of helping shape EP Gathering 2015, whose focus is the formation of the church’s young people (understood as high school aged and younger).

Question Title

* 1. Your name (optional, but highly recommended since we may very well need to follow up with you about some of your responses):

Question Title

* 2. What do you think are the most important questions we as Christians should be asking, issues we should be discussing, regarding the forming of young people as followers of Jesus?

Question Title

* 3. What congregations do you know of who are doing something noteworthy in this area from whom we would do well to learn? (Please mention briefly what they are doing and what you think we have to learn from them.)

Question Title

* 4. Who do you know who has something important and timely to say on this topic, whether in a plenary session, panel discussion, or workshop setting?

Question Title

* 5. Do you bring some special interest/experience/expertise/wisdom to this topic? If so, how might we best tap into that in the coming months, either in the planning of the Gathering or the Gathering itself? Are there ways you might be willing to serve to make the Gathering stronger?

Question Title

* 6. Do you think we should make a special effort to include/invite young people (high school and younger) to the Gathering and have them integrally involved in the Gathering? If so, how do you imagine them being involved? What might this look like? Are you willing to help make this happen if it involved subsidizing and staffing childcare to an even greater extent than in the past?
