HOW DOES A THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON HOLINESS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUTH MINISTRY?

Original language description

Backround: Despite the importance of experiencing divine holiness for the Christian faith and the capacity of young people&apos;s welcoming it, the term holiness does not seem to be very attractive to young Christians today. The vagueness in the understanding of holiness in the field of youth ministries can be a reason for that. In Christian communities or ministries, the term holiness appears to be used with different connotations. It is not a problem that holiness encompasses various dimensions; rather, it can be recognized as beneficial to relating young people to God. However, this positive expectation will be realized only when the multi-dimensional term &apos;holiness&apos; can be described more clearly and distinctively. In this setting, the aim of this paper is to describe diverse dimensions of holiness distinctively and to examine their connectivity with particular types of youth ministry, on the assumption that the difference in the understandings of &apos;holiness&apos; can be followed by the difference in youth ministries. The research will be carried out in three key sections, divided by three English propositions: &apos;from,&apos; &apos;toward,&apos; and &apos;with,&apos; which appears to express distinctively three different dimensions or perspectives of holiness. Despite the complexity of this topic, this paper attempts to focus in a specific way on the relationship between the theology of holiness and the ministry of youth, particularly in the context of Presbyterian churches and, more broadly, their ecumenical relations. Conclusion: In conclusion, the article will also attempt to outline additional theoretical explorations in this field, together with possible practical applications.
