I've been having a trawl round and tried to track down ALL the youth work and youth ministry conferences. I don't claim this is a definitive list but thought I'd flag up progress to date. Please let me know of others if you know of them. This still seems like a small list given the number of faith based practicioners there are!
Just before we plummet towards Christmas it might be a good idea to block some time-out for 2006 AND a conference. I think a conference is crucial, time for worship, get some input, chat/pray with like minded people AND not be responsible for anything!
