Unity and Diversity

Abstract Within the context of the separated youth worship and intergenerational worship debate, this paper considers the voices of young people that have been absent from the discussion. The voice of young people arises from qualitative research conducted in England, Taizé, Singapore, and Nigeria from 2001–2011 by the author. A youth understanding is set out involving the four categories of giving and receiving from God, the presence of peers, fun and learning, and empowerment. The findings of the research contribute a new approach to the worship needs of teenagers.
