400-408 – • Christian Post (7/28/2011) Modern Youth Ministry a '50-Year Failed Experiment,' Say Pastors.   Philip LeClerc and Scott Brown have a new documentary out, entitled "Divided: Is Age-Segregated Ministry Multiplying or Dividing the Church?", in which they argue that youth ministry is a "fifty-year failed experiment."  It's put out by Scott Brown, the Director of the National Center for Family Integrated Churches (ncfic.org).

// NCFIC Director Scott T. Brown told The Christian Post that today's modern concept of youth ministry is a "50-year failed experiment." Brown said that when he was a church leader in the '70s and '80s he could have been the "poster boy" for the youth ministry movement in California. However, he said he now feels that dividing children from adults at church is an unbiblical concept borrowed from humanistic philosophies. //

The thing that angers me about this is the tone – If you think you've got a better way, just go out and do it and prove to the world you've got a better way.  Don't say everyone but you is unbiblical.  Just go ahead and build that better mousetrap and grill that better burger, and if you're good, people will want to replicate it.  Talk is cheap.
