Talk:Youth for Christ
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think the style of writing is not objective enough in this article. Here are my examples:
"This great movement also eventually gave birth or helped to birth several other ministries: World Vision, Gospel Films, and - of course - the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association." It may seem minor, but by what criteria is this a "great movement" and why the "of course"?
"Youth for Christ (YFC) follows the motto of "Geared to the times, anchored to the Rock" in an attempt to help equip young people to minister to each other." That that is the motto and that is a stated aim may be a fact; that youth for Christ follows that motto or attempts these things is an opinion.
"YFC's Church Resource Department aims to serve the local church, right across the denominations, as it works with children and young people, providing all the necessary resources and support for effective Christian youth work, as well as supporting and nurturing local Youth Workers." This is attempting to portray it in a positive light eg. "right across" denominations has unnecessary stress, and there is the value judgement that it does indeed provide "all the necessary resources and support for effective Christian youth work, as well as supporting and nurturing local Youth Workers." and the implication that this is a laudable aim.
The article is riddled with this stye and in my opinion needs rewriting. Faulkling 14:27, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
