Good point, the old Universalist Youth Groups paid for their cons and built Church buildings (which they shared with adults) as well -- I know when i questioned why the con fans didnt start raising money, i got the "they're youth" comments as well as "they're planning to", anyone know if they did start that or how well they did? “As I said before, if the youth and youth adults raised money — as indeed their predecessor organizations did — perhaps the attrition problem would take care of itself.”

However, having recently watched the documentary "Jesus Camp" with its eleven year olds proselytizing I wouldn't go overboard. Interesting take.
