We teach young people to prepare them for their jobs and tasks later in life. But what really do we teach them? The message seems to be: we want your knowledge, your time, your power and your creative ideas - but not your self! This leads to frustration, resignation and aggression. We need a Church which brings new hope to the next generation - a hope that our world with its narrow horizons cannot give.
