Identifying the Intersections

Youth Ministry and the ELCA's Social Statement 'Faith, Sexism, and Justice: A Call to Action'

Abstract

Writing from his experiences working with youth and young adults, Nicholas Tangen describes the power of naming the sin of sexism with youth. He articulates how the social statement’s use of the concept of intersectionality deepens conversations with youth and helps them name the challenges they face and hear the gospel in ways that are meaningful to them.
